Candyman, You must be saying that fountain raised the motor first ,then used the top hole in the stellings box. Yes mine are stellings. But if I put mine in the top hole that will put the drive lower in the water. It will lower the ext box. The bolts are in the bottom hole now and I can not trim the drive with out them hitting the swimplatform. and with the drives against the platform at 5200 there is no rooster at all. I think this is slowing the boat .??????????????

I checked the drive height tonight, they are 4inches from the bottom of the boat to the center of the prop shaft. Does anyone know what this should be with boxes?

If we get the rain that is due , you will not be able to test. I hope they work out for you.

On a SSM IV or V, my prop shafts are 1" below the bottom of the hull. That's with Merc 12" boxes.
