I have a new LOMAC 520OK (boat) and Honda BF50L engine.<br />The problem is that the cavitation plate is about 3.5 cm above bottom line.. <br /><br />(the boat (engine plate) is 55 cm long and the Honda BF50L leg is the 52 cm long.. so the cavitation plate is 3 - 3,5 cm above botom line.<br /><br />My question is.. how the engine must be mounted ? In the manual i read that the cavtiation plate must be in line with botom of the boat or max 10 cm below the botom line but mine is 3,5 cm above botom line..<br /><br />My local dealer of Honda say that replace of propeller will chage the problem.. (the problem is thath the air is taken when the trim is on the nullt position.. If I change the trim in "+" the engine goes over speed and my boat lose speed..<br /><br />will the 4 blade proeller resolve the problem (the dealer say thath the problem is in the propeller)?<br /><br />Or <br /><br />I think that the engine leg is too short for my boat.. <br /><br />Here are some images of my boat (the trim position is in the max."negative" position:<br /><br />
<br /><br />

<br /><br /><br />What you think?<br /><br />My answer is that the local dealer must change the engine with the semi long shaft.. The engine is new with 10 operating hours.
, the cav. plate is completely out of the water? Well, I agree. If this is a brand new boat from a dealer, make him fit the proper size motor - they should know better!
