Hey Guys, I have a 24 foot Bentley pontoon and I just put on a 2004 Direct Injection 115 hp Evinrude and I am getting blow outs or slippage of some kind when I reach 3500 to 4000 rpms, I have a new prop which is 13.5 X 15, which was recommended and the old prop was the same, The motor height is at the lowest point I can go without getting a Jack plate. Could it be to Low or could I still have the wrong prop? Cavitation plate is just about even with the center pod.

When on plane with deck load evenly distributed at which lower leg height is the water flow passing by, under the small upper plate or above the AV plate ? For that will need to pull your head side of motor to have a look...

Happy Boating
