The motor is already a longshaft motor, and I’m not aware of these motors being in XL longshaft configurations (25").
I’m going to install a 4-blade prop tomorrow along with a hydrofoil and see how this affects the ventilation. If I can solve that problem, I’ll deal with the splashing next. If the 4 blade and hydrofoil don’t fix the ventilation, then I’ll have to lower the motor, but may add some ballast to the nose of the boat to see how that affects things.
I have a power trim/tilt installed (this is a 3rd party, panther trim unit). When I trimmed up, even just a couple of inches, the ventilation/prop slippage became worst.
Looks like I’ll be experimenting a lot with this thing over the next few weeks before it gets too cold out!
