Is there anything bolted to the motor? What else is attached to the transom?

Cavitation plate even with the keel is really just a starting point. <br /><br />Different boat/engine combo's will need to be adjusted for proper performance.

No fin on the cavitation plate, no speedometer pick up, no transducer -- nothing?

What happens if you trim it out further? Or if you trim it back down? Better when out further??
