2400/BRX. 300XS. 12" setback/jackplate (manual. Bob's). 3B Tempest, 25P.
So, I was always under the impression that a starting point for the engine height was to line up the antiventilation (AV) plate with the bottom of the boat and raise an inch for every 10-12" of setback.
When I am done break-in, I want to spend a few hours on some calm water and tinker with the engine height. So, rather than taking stabs in the dark, would a good point to start be lining up the antiventilation plate with the bottom (give or take an inch).
Also, should I make adjustments in half inches, inches, two inches? Not sure what increments are too small to even bother with.
