    518 Pro setup questions

    Just have some questions about setup for my 518 pro and jackplate height when running.


    I am finding it will run fastest (52.5@6350ish) with the plate at 0, bump down from full trim and let it eat.


    I have tried raising plate and using less trim but I always get back to plate all the way down for the best performance. and from my last measurements 10 on my atlas was ~3.5" PTP, so 0 is fairly deep.


    Holeshot is OK maybe 5-7sec solo loaded with passenger well full, usually take off with the plate mid way then start dropping the plate all the way, can cruise 50mph @ 6000rpm, bring the plate up and watch the speed drop.


    I guess this is just counter to what I expected, my setup is as follow:


    - 115 ProXs CT
    - 22p Fury 3 that was sent off to Mark Croxton to add a little more cup and pitch as I was hitting the limiter before
    - 2x 36v lithiums, 1x 12v lithium
    - 8 foot Raptors
    - 6" Atlas


    Speed wise I am more than happy and it is really running as fast as it can go, just curios as to why it performs best with the prop so deep.
