JoeThere is no exact answer to your question since you have a hydraulic jack plate. With that said, do as BCB suggests until you get some hours under you. Different props, different loads in the boat, and even weather conditions will dictate the height of the plate where best performance is achieved. However, even that will not be determined until youre able to drive the boat up to max potential without any chine walk. Here are some general tips for you:1. Fury props generally perform better at a lower setting than others. Adjusting height on the jack plate using this props gains very little. 1-2 mph at most. A Fury prop at high heights can be dangerous.2. Your boat with a heavy load will likely perform better at a lower setting. 3. Torque at the steering wheel usually indicates the height of the jack plate is too high.4. The height at which your boat performs best is likely to be around 3″ – 3 1/2″ prop shaft below pad of the boat.Without knowing what prop youre running, what your driving abilities are, and how much weight you are carrying the boat, your question can not be answered. As said above, until you get the feel of your boat, then leave the plate a low setting. Good luck!
