I guess I'm on the right thread, but here I go. I have received all the input about my switching my 40 tohatsu from my aluminum boat to a 15 ft sprint fiberglass questions on propellers.
Now my question is, right now I have my motor on small jackplate that put the cavitation plate about an 1 inch above bottom of boat, about 6 inches back from Transom. Boat now will plain out with moving weight to front of boat until speed is up, then you can sit in riding seat. (no power tilt) 11 pitch aluminum prop with holes.
Is this the best position for my motor? I would love to get a bigger motor, but not an option for me. Should the motor be higher or lower, closer to Transom or further back?
Top speed right now is 27mph which is fine by me, but the moving around in the boat while taking off is not the safest thing to do.
