I have recently repowered my boat with Merc F115EXLPT EFI with all the smartcraft instrumentation and so on. The height of the mounting has been done exactly how the installation guide says and how all the recommendations in the internet are suggesting. However, the problem is that I can only trim it up to number 4 mark according to the smartcraft trim gauge before it starts cavitating, but the trim range itself goes all the way up to 10. So there are actually several questions that bother me...
- is the engine mounted too high?
- am I missing like 60 % of the trim range that should be available?
- how will it affect fuel consumption and speed if I Iower the engine but trim it up while on plane (am I back in the same exact point when I started before the repositioning?)
so I'm confused and any help on the matter is appreciated!
