I've found that if you drop on a decent supplier, they will allow you to try props before you buy, as long as you look after them.

Do you have in SUZUKI this tool to lift up engine as a standard ?

In EVINRUDE you have to buy it separately or rent if from some friend who has it.

Tweaking the Pig

The lifting eye is built in to the engine as standard

+1 for SUZUKI I'm curious what improvements / change you obtain.

1. Did you lift 1 or 2 holes up
2. Before you lift and check level ... Did you have anti-ventilation plate below bottom of hull or on the same level ?

Not finished lifting it yet Matt, I've had to break off to attend domestic duties ( Friday night shopping &#128527 I'm lifting it one hole, which is the last hole available. The AV plate is currently level with the keel, I hope to get it above the water surface at planing speeds.

I can fill your pain (about shopping)

I do not like to stop in the middle of something.
Did you think about hydraulic plate ?
I will buy one if there is any strong but lightweight

It looks like better way to adjust height of the engine

A bit of 4x2 and a bottle jack will have her up in a flip. Saves caving the garage roof in.

VAT+all cusstoms 35 USD

So total 235 USD and you can adjust optimal height ...

Yeah! I'd seen those, look a decent bit of kit. I might have to resort to one if I can't get the height on the bolts. I wouldn't bother with a hydraulic one though, no need imho.
