Default How high to mount your engine?
I have a manual jack plate, and it is a real pain to move. I can not use a HYD unit for the Tallons mount to the jack plate, basically disabling any "on the fly" hyd adjustments.

So I need to set my jack plate and forget about it, but I need to know where?

When Im running up on plane where should my water level be?

A
B
C

Also you need to see where your trim will be set when you are running. You might be in the wrong bolt holes on your motor.
