Well, I don't know exactly what you read, but the "plate" I assume you are reffering to is the cavitation plate just above and horizontle (spell check) in reference to the prop shaft. With todays prop technology, I would place that "plate" as you call it considerably higher than the water line. You only need about 2/3rds of the prop in the water at speed. I would say you are right about what you are seeing and thinking. If you change your prop height, just make sure it still pumps good water at speed. Let me know, or you call me and we'll chat by phone.
