Matt: GPS read 68.45 at 6100. Shaft is 2' below the pad, and H2O is 10psi
@ WOT, with it dropping to 8psi
at very mild trim.

I think a LWP is needed. I didn't block off any intake holes yet. This was with
Darlene, the boy, myself and a full tank (50litres). I didn't want to push it
past that for family safety. No steering loss or squirrelly-nature whatsoever,
as I assume the weight kept it planted.

So options: Cup for the prop to bring her back to 5900 , raising the motor even more via leverage, to get the bow up, possibly DROP the motor a tad?

I have 22/24/26 stock Rakers alsofor different uses. :D

Good to hear it's working out for you. Missing low water pickups seem to be the thing most of these fishing motors suffer from unfortunately. Speaking of that, look what we're up to today:

Id be raising it up some more. But as said you need the lwp. Should have more in it, my buddys charger with 2 of us in the boat did 75 with a 26p chopper. Shaft even with the pad on a 150 merc

My charger ran 74 with a 25P mirage II at 1.5" below the pad at 5800. Try a solo run with less fuel.
