I have maybe problem with installing height. The bow jumping at full speed. Does anyone have any experience of right mounting from the height of NXT6 to Fountain 42?

I had the NXT on my Outerlimits SV 43. Those drives have a big flat front. The are very bad when you start to run fast, they blow out the water away from the propeller, so the boat handle poorly. I had to run the drive height very high to get them to work. I ran 2.5 - 3 inches above the bottom. If you raise them to high the bottom front of the drive acts like a water ski and will lift the back of the boat up, be carefull. Again its a bad design, I switched to #6 drives. Try as many propellers as you can, more diameter may help.

drive height is no about 2 inches above to bottom and propellers are hering 6 blades.
Which one is better 5 or 6 blades?
Are you think i must take 1 inches more upper drives?
