need a jack plate and go up with the motor. the higher you go the less spray you will have. you may need to have some cup added to go higher and not cavitate.

For the best performance you need to set the cavitation plate above the bottom of the boat by about 1/2" - 3/4" with the motor level. When running your motor, if you don't have power T&T, should be about level up and down.
Looking at your picture (which could be the angle the picture was taken from), it looks like the motor is trimmed down too much which would cause spray. Warren |

The rig needs to be properly set up. By that, the motor needs to run about 3 degrees positive trim at WOT with your normal load. That can be accomplished several ways. Once the rig is set up to run the proper trim angle, then start raising the engine till it blows out, then drop it 1/2".

Its a welded 1648 the motor is an 86 25HP Johnson with a 10x13 prop ill take some pictures in a few of howci run it trimmed. I had the motor trimmed down to get a better idea of how far above the bottom it was. How much does adding cup to a prop cost amd,can anyone in lale Charles do it?

I will agree with this but I will also say that speed wise you probably close to max because that's a heavy boat with small motor but if it gets to the fishing hole it works. if you need prop work go to or ship it to Coastal Prop in Bridge City, TX or you can use Prop Shop in Lafayette but don't use anyone in ake Charles unless cajunchristian tells you a place, it sounds like motor is to low and you just need a jackplate.

The speed is fine. The motor planes it out fine and runs great.ive heard stories about people getting spray over the Cowling. Mine doesnt even come up past the transom its just when looking back I can see it.my anticavtitalion/ventilation plate is right above the water when cruising or WOT I.m guessing its not angled right but again this isnt my area

Ive heard that but I dont have a transducer on mine. I do have a plug siliconed in from the outside its plugging the bilge for the livewells but thats off to the side I can definitely tell this is from the motor.

Jackplate. And do like Cajun Christian told me. Weld a piece of aluminum on bottom of jackplate to stop the spray.
