I hadn't really checked the prop to pad, I put a level on it quickly just to see approx distance. Today I leveled the boat(on the pad), leveled the the motor(bottom horizonal fin) put a straight piece of 2" wood on the point below the drain plug and leveled it. And then I did it again, and again and again. The pad was between the little water hole for speed on the front of the motor and the point of the bullet. I swear the water pressure was reading at 15 or above at 50 mph, didn't look at it at 64 I was too busy with the chine walk, I had it serviced last week and the bill said "no codes". I dropped the motor to 2 3/4 and put the wrenches in the boat for my trip this weekend. That, I guess, could have a lot to do with the chine walk at 64 mph. The service manager put the jp on and said he eyeballed the height.
