Bob take a picture of the transom with motor trimmed down and a shot of where they mounted the transducer for Depthfinder. Yours is a really hard question to answer without seeing what we are working with. The cavitation plate on motor should be just about level with bottom of hull.
maybe your not using your trim right
Here are a couple of pictures for you to look at let me know what you think.Quote:

G it makes no difference where you set the trim it does the same thing.Quote:

After a second look, looks like it is on a trailer.
Looks like you can only drop it down one more bolt hole.
I think you need to lower it down that one bolt hole and it might get the cavitation plate closer to the bottom of the hull and should help your problem some
Your motor is too high.......cavitation plate should be even with lowest point bottom of boat. Take it back to the dealer you bought it from and tell him to fix it.
Thanks guys I will definitely take the boat back to the dealer.
Just saw this Bob. Looks like you might have one bolt hole to drop down and really does not appear that would get you low enough. Like G said give to them and tell them to fix it. That Diagram Scrat posted is great showing how one should be mounted.
Yes even dropping it down one notch will not solve the problem you have about 2 to 3 more inches before it's even with the bottom of the boat dealer has a problem they have to remount everything or put a long shaft engine on it.
