in tbe late 70' or 80's ther was a SB on what to do for running high

You will need to run the motor a touch higher or it will give you transom lift and lower your RPM. I never felt the need for more then a 14.5 Pro-ET...

I think you'll need a different shift cable to use that?? Also, the one in your photo doesn't appear to have the neutral safety switch.

Rated for a 90. Loaded down it planes pretty quick and with just me or 1 other person even quicker. Water breaks near the console maybe a bit in...
