Im still running my old 250 DI and a 15x15 stainless OMC. I hated the viper!

I am about 3 3/4 to cav plate from flat keel.
Setback is 28"
Bracket keel is 4" above boat keel.

Hey Hermit! Yes this didn’t go as planned lol. I will get it sorted out I hope. I guess the logic to raise the bracket was justified in theory at the time of repower but I guess it might have opened up a new can of worms. Thanks for the measurements and the link I’m going to move the tabs this week. I hope you have a good season and if you want to try for a giant this year the invite is always open just let me know.

Just got to check my cav. plate 30” bracket and I’m at 5 1/2” above the keel . I’m wondering if the flat bottom vs a v bottom bracket is / would make a difference?
I’m not sure I could raise it that high with a 3 blade prop but the 4 blade likes it.

Thank you for the info I got the tabs moved old holes filled and glassed over. I hopefully can get some gel coat on it soon to finish the process and get it on the water to see what it is like now. I will try to get my hands on a 4 blade to try out. Again thank you everyone for the help I will update faster sea trial.

Thought I’d add these pictures hopefully they might be of some help.

Thanks! I’m now running a Power tech 4 blade — OFS4R17PCL200.
(15.25 diameter 17” pitch 4 blade stainless steel ) very happy with it. It and the fin added quite a bit of lift in the stern.
