Re: mounting 150 optimax to 1988 ranger 374v
does any one know which holes to mount there are 5 holes in the rows on top of mounting plate so I have 5 different locations possible
Initial setting would be with the cavitation plate level with the bottom of the boat with the engine trimmed parallel to the boat bottom. It will likely prove to be the center set of holes.
You may want to go up from there for performance, but that's a good initial setting. In fact, if that boat has some setback built into it (ie transom aft the rearmost point of the flat bottom.) you may want to raise it one hole to start with.
hope it helps
