Makes sense Terry, I feel like I can come up a bit too.
I took this video before reading about the electric tape trick, so it is still tough to see the cav plate but in my opinion it is still buried. I am still getting porpoising when I try to trim for speed.
It looks like I can raise the engine one more hole, would that be advisable to use that set of holes, the bottom hole would then be out of the slot, not sure if i'm supposed to go that high?!
Otherwise I think i'm looking at a manual jack plate, which I would like to avoid. I think they are around 40lbs i'm trying to limit as much weight as possible.
Here is the video of the boat getting up on plane for a bit. Let me know if the link doesn't work
