    Stv euro 300x setback suggestions

    Hi there I’m fairly new to the forum but just bought a 95 STV euro and I’m putting a 20” 300 X on it wondering if anyone could help me with a proper setback suggestion? It’s got 1.62 gears and bought a drag 4 30p prop for it. I’m ordering a Hydro dynamics manual jack plate for it and just want to make sure I’m ordering the right one, the previous boat owner told me that I should run a 10 inch setback with that motor, curious if anyone has any input thank you

    I have a 3.0L 225 Mercury Sport XS on a Euro with the Sportmaster 1.62 gears. I have a 5" Manual Bobs plate. It's not a 300 but may give you something to measure against. I started with the Drag 4 and I felt the Euro bounce was more pronounced compared to the Lightning ET & Mercury Cleaver.

    Ok thanks for the info, Ya I haven’t installed the prop yet. Wondering if I should switch that while I still can.

    I would run a 10". There have been several set up with them and although it seems like a lot, its what works the best.
