There was great debate over whether to lower the engine a peg, since
now it sits a little higher when vertical, but with the additional
setback (about 7") and additional down tilt, we figured the water would
be quiet enough to give me good performance. I can always lower it a
notch if I don't like the way it performs this weekend.


And the answer is... I don't like the way it performs. Oh, it gets on
plain super fast, but now I have a HARD pull to the right. I know I
should be able to tilt the motor back up to about vertical, but now at
cruising speed, vertical brings the prop up too high and I get excessive
revving.

Am I right in thinking that the hard pull is because the motor is
tilted in too far? Will lowering the motor a inch (or two) actually
alleviate the problem by letting me tilt out farther?

Thanks!


Here's a link to some info you've probably already looked at.
