Thanks for all the input. The engine is a 1998 Merc 225L. I measured the pad to prop height as best I could. Seems to be a little over 4 inches below the pad. I also read up on checking my hydraulic steering. It definitely needs bleeding. With it trimmed down, I can grab the engine and move the cylinder almost an inch either way.Seems that I have my work cut out for me. Seems the engine is definitely too low. I believe its part of the reason for the very quick chining as smbassman pointed out. Its isnt a slow chine…Im running, slowly beeping it, and the next second its bouncing side to side pretty fast. My wife was not impressed. Last edited by Cajunhunter67 on April 4th, 2013, 2:46 am, edited 1 time in total.
