Newbie here, with a question. I keep reading a lot about drive height and X factor. I've got a fairly stock 77 scarab with trs drives. Is there any kind of adjustment to raise drive height other than swapping to konrads or fabricating them shorter. I keep seeing and reading that there is a lot of drive in the water with the trs....

No quick and simple way to do it. All ways will be lots of $$$.

What I figured, not what I wanted to hear though lol.

No there is not any adjustment. Have you measured to see just how deep yours are in the water? Run a straight edge off the bottom of the boat back there to the front of the drive and measure just how much lower your propeller shaft is from the bottom of the boat.

8.5 - 9" from bottom of boat to CL of prop shaft

Mine is at 7". As stated above it will be expensive to try to change it, probably quite a bit more than a '77 boat is worth. If you are really concerned about it best and cheapest thing would be is to get a different boat
