here is a previous post about engine mounting here is the post

Get a straight edge and bring the motor to neutral trim, see where the cavatation plate lines up should 1 to 1 11/2" above the hull bottom. Props with long blades or alot of cup can go higher
I think this is my post and thats only for transom mounted engines - the set back from the bracket changes everything. Usually the issue is either motor too low or too much weight in the stern or both. If its not cavatating then its not too high.
