I need some guidance on adjusting the captivation plate above the prop. I never had to do this in our 35 long tail but I need to for the 7 I just bought. The engine is running to deep. How much should I bend it? |

Just did this to my 25. Cresent wrench and a bit of elbow grease, theres no real measurment, just a bit here and there. |

If it running too deep it can be bent down ever so slightly. It doesnt take much. To get a uniform bend i put a 1/2"*6" metal plate flush with edge then use a cresent wrench to bend it. This just keeps the cavatation plate from getting larger indentions in it at the spot where the wrench is. |

Bend it up till it is decapitated. |

Sorry about the mispelling, stupid iPhone autocorrected. As for the boat. It doesn't matter the load it still runs low, even on plane |

Just bend it down till the prop blows out, then bend it up just enough to keep it from blowing out. |
