Default motor angle

Should the motor be ideally perpendicular to the bottom of the boat, or
slightly kicked up? My power trim doesn't work, and I have to set the notch
by hand.

You will need to experiment with the setting. Correct porpoising by
lowering the trim. Correct bow steer or flat running by raising the
trim. Sometimes changing the trim even 1 notch fixes one problem but
creates another problem. If you cant get the trim right by setting the
engine and or distributing the weight in the boat then try a doel fin
and or changing the prop pitch. Make sure the engine stays in the proper
WOT RPM range.
