The bracket is custom, so the 2 or 3 hole reference is null. My obvious choices are: 1. cavitation plate slightly below the extended line of the bottom of the keel. 2. cavitation plate 1 inch above the extended line of the bottom of the keel. I'm opting for 2, is the the best spot to start? Thanks, Mike

Different bracket designs I am sure will have different settings. I would contact the bracket Manf. and ask for a recomendation.. The bracket will taper up from the hull as it goes back and so will the water flowing under the boat.
