All,
I have a 95 18ft javelin with a 150 Johnson. I have a 6in jack plate and a 24" 3 blade SS prop. Once I’m out of the hole running I try to trim it out but after a while the prop starts to cavitate. When I turn somewhat had its very noticeable. What is a starting point to measure the bottom of the hull to the ?? About what should be the correct measurement? I think it needs to be lowered a little. It’s not getting enough bite, but I don't want there to be to much.



Thanks,
Doug
