Does this look right??

[ifishhard]

I took these pictures of my motor on my rig.....I have noticed alot of water shooting out of the side when I am riding....Do I need to move my motor up based on the pictures?? I do not have a jackplate........Thanks!

I think you have to move your motor down an inch or two as I see on the picture=

That is about where mine is but I run a 6'' set back.

If your motor is too high it will blow out or cavitate really easy as you trim it out, so if you can trim the motor out and run WOT with out the prop blowing out it is good, if ti does blow out drop it a hole and try again.

Hard to tell just looking at pics as all boats are different, too high for one is just right for another, it is how that set up works on your boat.

I agree with baiwan...looks just a hair high.

actually i can not tell. you need to run a straight edge inline with the hull to get a better view. camera angle distorts things.
