It's time to start setting up the hardware now that I have the power close to where I want it. I bought an angle finder today so I can see where I'm at on the setup. Ride plate is 1.5 degrees up from the keel and the nozzle is 5. From what iv read 3 &4 are a good starting point and 4 &7 is the magic numbers on most wingers so Iv been way off.

I'm with you bro! I too would rather motorboat than repair during the boating season.

I'm looking forward to seeing/riding in your Ford powered awesomeness of a boat....lol.

I have the same wedge and I think the same droop but my nozzle angle is only around 5. Up from keel?  I'm going to check it a better way. I know my ride plate is only 1.5 up from the keel so that's not good!
