That's not a fixed number the same on all boats. The indicators or gauges are usually a little different boat to boat. You have to be able to tell by feel ultimately. Too much and you'll porpose some and revs will go up with no speed gain. Ideal trim is also different at each speed/rpm. Cruising at 3500 rpm has a much different trim than full speed. Experiment what's best for you boat.
