Default Re: Stern lifting prop for 20 MA with bracket

I've got the same (Bob's Machine) manual jack plate on one of my BW 15 Sports. You've got your engine just about bottomed out. That's where I'd start. Hard to tell from the photo, but normally, the anti-ventilation plate performs best 1-1 1/2" above the keel when each are parallel. This is accurate for my both of my Whalers running F60's, but I have not tried this with the Seacraft.

BTW, beautiful boat! Vezo, Part II.

With the bracket you have compensate for the set back of the bracket - I think its like 1" up for each back - somebody with a bracket help out here as I just have always had transoms

As the water comes off the hull it rises, so the engine height has to be raised to compensate or your dragging a giant planer, in this case the cavatation plate=lots of drag.
