Think 11" of set back is ok on a 22' .. I have a 7" bracket and a 4" jack plate I want to run .. Putting in a floor and transom and rebuilding the boat now and would like some one who knows whats best on this... thanks

I run 12" of setback with a 300 promax. It all depends on what kind of waters your running in. The further you go back the worse it will run in rough water. In rough waters I just keep it tucked in.

I had to do the same. Good luck!

how much worse in the rough will it run..?? should i just use the jack plate which is about 4"... i will probably end up running a 2.5 but could end up with a 3.0 litre eventually ......I would like to eliminate the well on the transom and make that a flat piece and can do it with the bracket . my last 22 only went 62-64 mph with a 4 or 5" jack plate so it handled pretty good for all around.pics are my 1st 1..

Im not too sure because I've always ran 12". But a HUGE factor is engine height. The higher the better. Of course you can be too high so you have to find the sweet spot but that made a huge difference for me. Boat handled the sh*t when it was 2-3" bellow the pad. Now I'm about 3/4" above the pad and the boat almost drives it self. Best I've seen was 86mph 10gallons of fuel and by myself. It's an 80mph boat all day.

...Very, very few 22's came from the factory with tabs. Steve Stepp will also tell you, they are not needed.

I have that same setup for my velocity as well, 7" bracket and 4" plate but I'm waiting for my hull to be painted, I will Prob be running a 2.5 for now until I sell my 24 superboat and use my 300xs for the velocity
