How low in the water should my prop be running? At wot it is about 1' under the surface, is that right, or do I need to adjust my calvitation plate to make it ride higher? It's on a 1438 jon boat, 13 hp scavenger. I MIGHT be getting 8 mph. It does squat some in the back but I think it's due to the prop being so low in the water. With the handle that is on it I'm sitting in the middle of the boat,

My cavitation plate runs about 1" under the water. If I adjust it any high it wants to blow out of the water. From what I have read and seen 1" is about right.

that were im running my godevil LT.and if you go to low it hits everything ,it seems.

I can force it ,by pushing down ,to run 1" below the surface, but I loose speed. I think its due to the calvitation plate being angled down. The one on the scavenger is adjustable. It is mounted on studs. All I need to do is put washers on the front studs, and it should point the plate up some, that should raise the prop.
