What position should my engine be in while trailering?
Should I have my engine all the way up or down? The tech said to leave it all the way down, but I would scrape my skeg on certain hills. Currently I've been lowering it to the point where the engine rests on the trim pistons. This seems like it would give it additional support.

Sharrow Prop
Thinking of buying a Sharrow prop for my AP that has a 200 hp Yamaha. Sharrow prop is expensive, $5K but so is the AP. Has anyone else considered this? Yamaha and Sharrow have supposedly teamed up. Reports have been looking good but have seen nothing with respect for pontoons. My dealer knows nothing and is not interested.…

Prop/speed advice
I test drove a 2017 SW Premium 255SB last night (same basic boat as the 240SB of years past). It was a 2 tuber with the Merc 4 stroke 150hp engine on it. My issue was with speed and RPM. The boat only did 27 mph with 3 adults on board and only hit right at 5000 rpm. This RPM seems really low considering the redline is 5800…
