Thanks Finnegan, lots of information to digest.

The GPS speed and my speed gauge match when underway so I don’t think the speed on the gps is wrong. Although, on my previous boat I didn’t trust the speedo at all and always used gps for speed. Not sure about the tach.

So do you agree that the motor could be raised without new holes? (Thanks for the information and the bolt direction).

When I arrange to have the motor raised I can ask the technician to check the motor out to assure its producing expected HP.

Is there a way for me to check the prop slippage myself?

Thanks for all the help.
