That is very specific to the gear set and brand of motor I run and also drives the height I am able to run without turning blowout or cavitation and slippage in different sea conditions. The tipping point for having the motor mounted too high is not a blurry line that is hard to find and unless you are running your boat on a glass flat pond, don't be thinking you will be able to get away with a 20 inch motor..... because you won't without putting a snorkle on it.
