Lets start with the model number... There is a sticker on the transom bracket that will provide this info.
Once you know the model number you will also know the year, you then need to refer to the O.E. manual for the adjustments that you mentioned, there is a section called "Engine syncronization" that provides a step by step procedure.
As for the motor height, as a starting point you want the cavitation plate even with (or an inch lower than) the keel of the boat. If you have a jack plate, this is easilly adjustable.

Go there to find the synchronization thread aerocook is referring to. It also has a year lookup thread. Reading every post in that section will get you at least a fair working knowledge of what you're looking at.

An original factory service manual is really handy. You can get one for your engine from Ken Cook Co., in Milwaukee or outboardbooks.com.
