I have an early '90s Phantom 216 SST and the outboard appears two be mounted too low (cavitation plate runs a couple of inches below the water at WOT.
I am a novice to boats and was told this by my friend who has been around them a long time.
He made this assessment after riding in the boat and noticing a large amout of spray coming from the lower unit and seeing where the cav plate was in relation to the water.
Now, my dumb noob question is: Are the SST (space saving transom) designs good for a jack plate?
I would most likely get a manual hi-jacker to set the outboard height (there is no more adjustment up with the current rigging).
I just do not want to do more harm than good.
Thanks.
