Can u post a pic of the cav plate in ref to the transom ? take a side shot. .5 to 1.5 above the pad. look and see if there is a tiller pin in the transom bracket make sure it is in the bottom hole Iam not a Honda Mech but Iam a Merc and you can run the mercs withit out giving u more negative trim to help put the bow down. I run a Hydro with standard water pick ups 2 inches above the pad with no water preasure loss. I see u had a 200 merc before and the performance looked pretty good. If so cool I have a 200 merc I can slap on my new to me 23 CC and get it wet faster than new power .
