Prop Ventilation

[gotnitro]

At WOT trimmed up for MAX speed if I hit some waves or I go into a turn she ventilates. Would this mean that my engine is in the correct hole for MAX speed? I understand how to fix ventilation with trim, just wondering about the hole.

(Sorry about the wrong forum for this question..)

Personally, I'd say that when you're running in that position, waves or sharp turns causing ventilation is to be expected. You can check for proper motor height by (carefully) inspecting the ventilation plate at speed. Typically, it should be at or just above the water level. If you can't see it, then you may need to perform an adjustment.
