I have the same motor on a 24 foot pontoon.  Where I trim the motor is dependent upon water conditions and the number of people on the boat.   If there are a lot of lard butts on the boat and they all want to sit in the front,  I have to trim the motor down as you describe, because other wise the prop cavitates.

You say "When I run the motor in that position, at 2500 RPM or higher, the motor races (sounds like the prop is out of the water)."

Is  the motor continuing to run at 2500 RPM and just making a racing noise, or are the RPMs going up?

Did it act this way before the gauge went kaput?
