What is your prop shaft to pad measurment? Per Hydrotec, you can run 12psi minimum. Sounds like you just need to raise motor.

Put trailer on level ground. Using trailer jack and carpenter's level on trailer frame, level the trailer. Then put the carpenter's level on the motor cavitation plate and trim motor till cav plate is level. Then measure from lowest section of the bottom of the boat (just forward of the drain and livewell holes) to the ground. Then measure from the center of the motor nosecone (propshaft) to the ground. The difference is prop-to-pad measurement. A good place to start is for prop shaft to be 3.5" belwo the pad.
Somewhere on here are pics, but not needed if you follow the instructions above...
Meet Pat!!!!!! He'll get you set up right!
I did the measurement and i came up with 3-1/2" i measure from the lowest part of the boat to the ground and then measure from the center of the prop to the ground and substracted.
Now go meet up with Pat! I would give my eye teeth to be able to have him run my boat...
