what position is the pin in ?it can be removed as far as i understand.ive always thought of it as a tilt pin ,if you have tnt remove it if need be .i know on my boat with basically the same motor its very sensitive to trim because its so light.

Personally I would use some tapered shims to do that. Why do you need to do this in the first place ??? could be a set up issue that can be resolved with a little more Q & A

I would like do this because its way more motor than the boat needs . its back heavy with a bit of porpoising and bow rise.I almost have it under control in the holes closest to boat, but I feel a little more would be better.
the boat also has inset motor well check out the pic
