My motor height is 2nd from highest. I have 2 holes above the top bolt. The speed is MPH, statue, not nautical miles. I am reading the speed off of my Hummingbird GPS/Depth sounder. I do have a speed wheel at the stern so I cannot ascertain whether it is a gps reading or a mechanical reading. Perhaps I can try a cellphone app. Today I was able to reach 5600 RPM WOT and 40MPH. 2 people onboard . I don't think too much is going on. I think I'm getting close to optimum.
