what he said.put it a half inch under to start
Finally a boat with the same engine! What setback are you running? What props?I have the identical setup and all I can tell you is start with the motor 1/2" below the pad and just keep trying to drive it. It took me a long time to learn to drive it, but once you get it you will forever love Allison boats!!! Leave the setup alone for now...you will get it.
