Thanks for the advice, I'll remount and give it a try. I wanted to save some time by hearing what others have seen work best with this boat/motor combination, and hopefully avoid having to drill unnecessary holes in the transom. Looks like I'll be drill a few new holes to get this right! The prop is turning 5400-5500 RPM, the right numbers for this motor, but is only a 15 pitch.

Hopefully with the adjustment I might be able to gain a pitch or two...that would certainly help top end speed and economy. Motor is a gas-guzzler by todays standards (2-4MPG).
