the height of the cavitation plate is as important as the trim. the problem is it is difficult to get a definitive answer as to what the correct cavitation plate height is. most riggers just mount a ob in the lowest position and this is usually wrong.

some say that the bottom of the pontoons is the correct height for the cavitation plate. other say it is the water line at the back of the pontoons.

most now agree that the best starting point is the bottom of the motor well. you can experiment by moving up or down a hole or two. when you get the correct height and the correct prop, it will be easy to get the proper trim and avoid blow out.

if anyone know a sure fire way of determining cavitation plate height, I would like to know it.
