Sorry Dave, did you mean to say it looks too low rather than too high? I assume you meant it looks low and to raise it a little and see how it goes.

Thanks all for the feedback! It is gratefully received.

Looks bang on to me. When you are on the plane and in a straight line if the vent plate is skimming the surface you are about as close as you will ever be. Slow down and she will “sit” Lower in the water so uvshuoud turn without losing water [emoji106]

I like a low effort plan! I'll leave it where it is.

Again, thanks all for the input.
