    Default OK. What next?


    Got my engine raised. Now 5 inches p2p. Can adjust 2 inches up/down. Mounted my laptop. Mounted a camera on a pole aft, looking down transom at water. I will video the process.

    Here are a few pics and a video clip of the camera view. Look down to wet spot on garage floor.

    Rigging the camera and the laptop was the easy part.

    I don't have a clue what I am looking for. This camera should show something.


    Open for any suggestions.


    Below the laptop is the water pressure gauge I installed (temporary). The switch raises and lowers the HB SI transducer.




    This is my Underwater ROV camera mounted on a pvc pole. Up/down adjustable.



    Click on the picture to view 20 second video.

    Maybe I missed an early post. What is the purpose of the laptop? Is it just a view screen for the camera?

    I could not figure out what you were doing, so I went back thru your previous posts to see , now I understand. I think your engine needs to turn at the 5500 RPM range first then worry about adjusting your jack plate. good luck Jerry

    4" p2p then see what it does. May still have to drop pitch.
    "But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 25:15

    AGREED! and when you get to 4" you will see a great deal of rpm change. When you get to 4" check the W/P guage and see if you can go to 3.5. I would also ditch the 4 blade and go back to the hammer ss t21 that the motor came with, yes the 4 will make you get on pad easier but u have a jackplate and tilt and trim, and thats what this stuff is for speed, even if that wernt your intentions
