This isn't really merc specific, but..<br /><br />This is my first Trim/Tilt motor...apparently there is a limiter which keeps you from trimming the motor out of the water when running.<br /><br />If I am running and trim up all the way that the motor will allow, there is about a 4 to 5 ft rooster tail that will develop. I assume this leads to prop performance degradation, as at a given RPM I have less speed than if I was trimmed down just before I get rooster tailed. However, it takes less throttle to keep that said rpm...ex 40mph at 4000 vs 36 at 4000, but with less throttle...<br /><br />Which one gives you better MPG, or is it really a coin flip? And is there a trim limiter? What determines it's setting? 150hp XR4.
