Hello all, Ive been a long time reader and now i need a little help on a new to me Tracker Nitro 185. Took it out for the first time today. Previous owner had is sitting for a year. After starting and dying for about 30 min i finally got it to idle around. So to clear it out i was going to run it WOT. Yeah not happening. When i do, water comes in the back... bad.. Ive had outboards before and never seen anything like it. Motor is really digging down , water almost over the cowling. I cant trim it down all the way without the tell tale being submerged and water up to where the cowling snaps together. Naturally I beleive it needs to go "up"... Now how much... is there a reference point or suggestions. I know it changes when a jack plater is used. Because its naturally lower a foot back because the angle.
