I have a 2007 Intimadator, 225 XS, 25P prop. Unfortunately someone before me took off the hydralic jackplate, so it has a 6" manual one on it now. I have a few questions:

1. What prop should I be running?
2. Should I go back to a hydralic plate, and which one comes stock on the ZR2 package?
3. Where should the motor be set in relation to the pad
4. Where can a find the little guage console, that sits below that sits on the floor under the console? I have seen a few boats on here with the finder mounted in there.
5. If I don't go back to a hydralic plate, where can I get a gauge to put back in the hole, or should I have a cover plate built to hide the hole?
6. What speeds do you guys see out of similar setups?
7. I am not sure I like the trim on the floor, can I wire it to the blinker trim switch that is already on the boat?

Thanks for the help!

Any ideas or guidance would be appreciated.
