Motor Height

[overthetop]

I have a 19.5' Nitro with a Yamaha Vmax 150 TRP on a 6" jackplate. Right now I am on the 3rd to bottom on my engine mouting holes.I still have plenty of water pressure so I was thinking about going up to the last hole but don't know if that is ok? I thought it might put to much stress on the transom or jackplate? I still have a bit over 1" on the jackplate that I could go up but the adjustment screw is frozen so the jackplate is not an option.

Thanks,
Kevin

No problem in doing that, but watch your WP. One hole up may be too much, whereas the plate lets you come back down a little to get pressure back. It gets critical when you get close, as little as 1/4 inch makes all the difference. I would try and fix the plate so you can use it.
