I know dumb question! But I was wondering if I lower my engine, will that help my boat ride higher out of the water or will it drag more?
I've played with my setup for a year now. I read recently that Stratos 295's like the engine setting at 3.5 below pad. I've been running mine at 2.5. Thats the boat being level and lower unit level. I've been running a tempest this spring. I usually run my renegade, 23p. The tempest is a 23p. I have to high of a roster tail with the tempest at 2.5 below pad at WOT and water psi at 15. I feel I might be over trimmed a little. RPM's at 5600 max. speed 58-59mph.. running a 175 ficht. So what would I see if I lower the engine? oh, I have a 6" jp... Thanks Charley
