Getting my new Lynx tomorrow and it will have the new 250 Merc Pro XS 4 stroke with an Atlas hydraulic plate on it. I have never had a hydraulic plate before and have been searching for some recommendations but getting a variety of answers so a little confused. I get the sense the Lynx may respond differently than other models or brands. What I am looking for is a starting point for general heights for the these three situations:
1. holeshot
2. cruising 30-45mph
3. 50+
From there I would guess it becomes a tweaking process and personal preference.

Thanks for any input from Lynx owners and BCB.

1. Raise it for hole shot

2. Lower it max for mid range operation

3. Raise the plate to where there is moderate right hand pull on the steering wheel requiring you to hold it left. That is surfacing propeller blade and you want just a smidge trimmed up running.
