I have a 96 PII with a 150 Evinrude Intruder that is turning a 24 pitch Raker 2. It is blowing out when I start to get on pad. I can have someone go sit up by the pedistal seat and I can get on pad.

I recently had a mechanic replace my motor mounts and add a hotfoot. It looks like he may have lowered the jack plate about 1/2in but it could have been like that when I bought it. It did not have this problem before the work was done.

Any suggestions? I did change hubs to make sure it was not the hub.
