What broke in your drive? Something in the lower?

What's the "X" dimension? How much trim do you have to use to get the rpms up?

Try to borrow one and test if FIRST before spending real bucks on it,your already at 6' which isn't terribly deep for a single. My prop c/l is 7 1/2 on my boat and so far I gained ZERO with a 2" shortie plus boat no longer carries the bow well. Just tried a 1" spacer,carried bow better but still not real good,zero speed increase,Smitty
