That shoots my theory down! Good to know they work on brackets, I have used and installed on many boats without and like the results but never on a bracket boat. BruceB
do you know how high from keel you have the motor mounted?
Nah... I moved it up and down three times...I'll try to get a measurement and a pic today. I do remember thinking it looked to deep/low to me no matter what height I had it at...lol

Default Motor Height Measurement

I had a nice length of thin wall 1/2" aluminum that I duct taped to the keel and to the motor and checked it a few times. About 3" to the cav. plate and a setbeck of 30"

Default Re: Motor Height Measurement

I have a fin on my 20...when I bought the motor it already had one on it so I just left it on...the boat really jumps on plane and turns on a dime without any cavitation. My trim tabs were an unnecessary addition to this boat. Bushwacker has a fin on his Hermco bracket and he has said that he thinks it helps as well. I used to have a fin on a bracketed 23 Arena craft....cant remember exactly why I put it on but I think it was because of blowing out in turns and it fixed the problem. I think the main advantage of a fin is that it will get the bracketed boat up on plane faster. BTW I think fins look ugly..... but if they help
