adjusting moter height

[moregooder]

have finished all hull modifications ( added 3rd log ) and am done making all major weight distribution changes on my 24 footer.
were should the center of the prop be in relation to the bottom of the center log .

Find centerlineof transom, and draw a straight line from top to bottom. Line motor up on this line and mount with cavitation plate at bottom of transom. If not centered the boat will pull and not track well.

left to right is easey, I,ve got that part, how deep do you want the prop... do you you want it as deep as it will go, as close to the surface as you can get it and still be in good water, or somewhere in the middle.

Your cavitation plate. ( the big wide flat plate above your prop) should be flush with bottom of your transom. This is best place normally. If you have blowout or cavitation problems you might need to lower it some. Unless a performance toon you shouldn't move plate above bottom of transom.

sorry, I guess you did say that in your first post, and that is right were i have it, puts the center line of the prop shaft about 7 inches below the keel.

Just went out to look at mine, man its cold. My center toon is flat on the bottom, it looks like the center of the prop in about 4 to 5 inches below that. The toons on the outside are round and 25". Can get you some better measurement later if you like. It was almost dark when I went out to check.
