[QUOTE="Big Ben, post: 4754219, member: 3007"] Most motors are set in the second hole from the stern, looks like yours is in the first hole. I would change that and see what the results will be. Mine was in the 4th hole when I got it and I moved it some but still wouldn't plane the boat like I wanted. Moved it to hole #2 and put the small hydrofoil on and can't be any better IMO. For a old 18hp it will make that 1448 scoot. Also I never seen one mounted a inch higher than the transom like that, if I could I would lower it down flush. edit..I had water flying higher than the transom but turn out to be the angle of the fish locator sensor that is mounted right at the waterline stern. Angle it up against the bottom of the boat looking foward and problem solved. Now shoots a small roostertail up and away. [/QUOTE]
