Is my motor sitting to low?

[TnTommy]

I've seen a lot of post about how the top of lower unit should be even with the bottom of transom is my motor too low? It's in the top hole so I could raise it?

Maybe...is that a false hollow bottom? Anti cavitation plate should be even with the bottom of your motor is clamped to the transom, higher if it's on an offshore bracket.

I believe it is a hollow bottom

Pontoon boats are different;-----Test run and post what happens.----Or why the concern?

Can't tell much from the pics....

You need to have someone hanging over the Transom to get a Pic of what it looks like at Top Speed, to determine if the Motor is mounted too Low

not a false bottom, just the end of the motor pod for a pontoon. Mine is just an open rectangle, no vertical structures.
As mentioned, a pontoon is different. You need to run it and see what the WOT #'s are. Check for ventilation issues and trimming issues, if any, especially when turning at speed.
