Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: 150hp Merc Mounting Position

I have a 1984 Outrage 18 that came with a 2010 150hp Mercu Optimax. The first time i used the boat i immediately noticed that water sprays up from the anti-cavitation plate while on plane. I have to trim the motor up considerably to make the spray stop. Currently the motor is mounted in the top hole. I know i need to drop it down. Does anyone have experience with this motor/hull combination and if so, what hole are you mounted in?

Thanks!
