yes when taking your measurement keep boat level and motor level via the cavitation plate. If you notice in the video I have a level on the cavitation plate
went to champlain, running 60 mph when over heat alarm goes on. sat in the middle of really rough water for about 5 minutes, started up motor, ran for 5 minutes, alarm goes on again, did this til i got back to ramp, thought it was something major. went to u tube video, realized it was jack plate up to high. going back to champlain in two weeks, will lower before i go, hope that does the trick
I dont see a benifit in a manual jack plate. Most motors have enough adjustment holes to set the motor to the proper height. Hydraulic is the way to go.
I have a slide Master Jack plate that I'm going to mount on the back of a previous inboard outboard gls195ss.

So, how did the adjustment go? That was a pretty big change.
It's a simple process, cavitation plate equals the bottom of your keel for maximum performance that's it
I'm trying to determine what the transom height is supposed to be and I'm assuming it's 20 in for a regular outboard.
How did it turn out?
