What Jack plate heights is everyone running on these models with the hydraulic jack plate and stock T2? Taking the 23' out for the break in this weekend! Thanks!

Run it up to 12 and go from there. I almost always start there and adjust as needed each trip or run.
2021 ZXR20, 10 seems to work best for me on most water.
Can’t answer but nice bug!
Thanks!
Mine likes full trim and JP all the way up. I get to 18 on the gauge and keep bumping till I loose speed. Always end up topped out bump it down and speed starts falling off.
The zxr21 likes to be around 15-16 on average. then it depends on weight placement. around 90-95% on trim
Good enough to get started, Thanks!
While y'all are discussing... 2022 ZXR21 with manual plate. Where are these numbers?? Mine seems about 3/8ths to 1/2 inch above the main bracket on top but my speeds and rpm are not being all they could be!! Lol...
Most people with manual jack plates use the dots on the side of the jack plate for indicators of the height.
Sorry to throw the manual jack plate in the mix but what are the starting points for those??? Thanks!
I'll ask another way... The pad to prop measure of 2.5 to 2.75 inches is center of prop below the pad of the boat with all sitting level or near it??
Thanks in advance!

I like to set them up at 8-9 dots and run around 90% trim. 7 dots is usually the starting point on averageOriginally Posted by GVStone
Be careful with boaters advice on JP numbers. I’ve seen where the motor has been mounted on the plate in different holes. Best to always go by prop to pad and start from there. If you do use someone’s advice. Ask what hole they are mounted on and brand of JP.
Excellent points by Outofsightpdr.
