i'm running a '77 johnson 70 hp on a 15.5' skeeter, with a CNC power t/t.

Start with the av plate about 1" above the bottom of the boat. Adjust as required

that cnc unit will give you 6" of setback, so you can go a little higher.


The key is to have the anti-ventilation plate at or above the water line when the boat is on plane
