Thanks for posting,but way to much trim you are going to hurt your driveshaft.

What did you have the trimmed to? I never trim past 4. Looks like you are way higher than that.

Thanks, I didnt see that at first.

I have never trimmed mine that high. I thought it would be to much stress on the outdrive.

The best way to find your MAX trim setting at WOT is to measure the trim rams then mark your dash. Mercruiser manual states 21 3/4" center-center bolts on the trim ram for WOT operation. Set your drive to this measurement, double check, mark it on the dash. At 21 3/4" my dash indicator reads 6.5 , I never trim higher then 6 to keep within a safe range. :drink:
