So what it your prop to pad measurement now. It was off alot a 1-1/4" low, my Nitro 901 was rigged a 1-1/2 low also, that is something you would think Nitro would know when they rig the motors at the factory, i guess not back then atleast.

Hey Bob, Does Nitro do all the rigging for their boats at the factory? My dealer does all the rigging at their dealership. They sell Ranger and Stratos now, but used to have Tritons as well, but that was many years ago. But in my case, I ordered the motor I wanted and the boat, they did the rigging. Just curious if that is the way it is normally done or not? No reason to know other than to know. My boat seems to have been rigged up just right to suit me.
Love all the stuff on these discussion threads. Thanks!!

I have no idea if they rigged all the motors 10 years ago when i bought my boat. Regardless who ever rigs them, they should not be off 2 bolt holes, or a 1-1/2" which was the way mine was mounted. My boat came with a jackplate that could not be adjusted either, it was just a 10" setback plate.

Thanks Bob,
I am just curious about stuff and I find that I ask a lot of questions, and fortunately there are usually lots of people who know what I am asking about and don't mind sharing. I appreciate the insight.
Thanks again Bob,
My Nitro was set up low also. With the setback plate they used you can adjust the motor in 1/2 hole(motor mount)aprox. 3/8" increments by alternating the bolt pattern using the upper and/or lower holes on the setback plate.
