Xb2003 setup

[Digger68]

I have an xb2003 with a 200 pro max. The boat just isn't getting the lift I want. I have a 9" jackplate and the motor is set 1" below the pad. Running a 4 blade prop. Can anyone give me advice as to how much setback I need and engne height and prop to make this baby fly?

14" is pretty much the rule of thumb on that setup....

Yep, needs more setback and more engine height. 13-15" of setback works well, and start out 1/4" below the pad.

These guys are right, but in the mean time, don't be afraid to raise that motor up. Pull it within a 1/4" below and try it. That alone will make a huge difference. :beer:

Like they said, start at 1/4 below the pad and work it from there. Probably need a little more setback.

Which prop are you running?

Watch the water pressure!
