last question for awhile....

I just read your first post and see you're in Pensacola. I'll be down there
Mon night ready to fish the week. (Tues sounds like a posibility as far as
the projected wind/wave height). How IS the fishing? I hear there's some
Cobia still running. Give me a call on the VHF--"Trollercoaster". or
We usually put in at Shoreline.

When doing a drive-on trailer loading, with outboards, what is the rule of
thumb as how much to tilt the engine up? I see different amounts of tilt
used.

I know we lose thrust the higher up the engine is tilted. Maybe there's
enough to work with, even with the engine all the way up, though. Is this
the case? If so, guess it makes sense to run it tilted all the way up for
loading.

Is the only reason to bring the engine up at all just so your lower unit
might not hit the ramp in the process of getting the boat on the trailer?

Fishing's been good lately. Wx forecasts say the Gulf may be fairly rough
starting tomorrow. Supposed to have scattered thunderstorms both on and off
shore Wed and Thur. I won't be on the water next week. My boat is in the
shop having the T top rebuilt. Limb fell on it and broke half off it off
during Hurricane Ivan. We've been through lots of re-construction since
then, and I'm just getting to the boat.
