The prop to pad is 3.5 now and it is very hard to steer. The more I trim up the harder it is to steer. The torque is something awful. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I know that I need hydraulic steering but, the boat handled better with the motor lower. Before I raised the motor the boat was easier to handle when I had it trimmed up.
Sounds like it's to high,to me...

Where are you taking your measurements from?
Can you post some pics of your motor and jack plate?
