Effect of Tilt Angle: The tilt angle should be set so that cavitation plate is about parallel to bottom of boat.

Speed of boats, having center of gravity located forward, may sometimes be improved by tilting engine out one pin hole.

This will tend to raise bow and reduce wetted surface. If engine is tilted in, the boat will ride with the bow down, wetting more of the bottom and reducing speed.
This sometimes improves operation in rough water.

The adjustment is made by changing the tilt pin to a different set of holes.
You will find it near lowest part of motor against back of boat.

It is usually held in position by a spring latch and easily changed, as it is often necessary to re-adjust for different loads and conditions.

For maximum speed, move weight aft until boat porpoises or is about to porpoise. This reduces wetted surface to a minumum, only the rear half of the boat bottom being wet.
