Well............. it turns out my new gps was set to knots instead of mph. Soooo........ it's running better than I thought. I think my motor needs to be raised but it's only got one more hole before it's all the way up. I was running about 5700rpm by myself again today and 37-38 mph and it's slow to get on plane. I decided to load it up how I am going to use it so I got my family onboard. Me 180lbs wife 130lbs and a 9 and 5yo combined weight 130lbs. It hardly had enough umph to get on plane. Once on plane I was down to about 34-35mph and 5500rpm and that's without gear ice and beer. Once loaded I really doubt if it will get on plane without putting the trim tabs down and it still may not. I am attaching a pic of how the motor is running n the water. Even if I move it up it's not going to be enough. I only have one more hole for adjustment. I am pretty sure it needs to go up about 3 inches. How will I get that much adjustment? Jack plate?
Thanks in advance.
And I apologize for the confusion, I felt certain it was set to mph.
