Engine pitch
When the motor is mounted with prop faceing foward, does the motor have to be on any spcific pitch? Front or rear and how much of a pitch if any?

RE: Engine pitch
Most boats seem to work best with the engine mounted level or close to it. I mount mine level and use washers under the engine mount bolts to adjust the angle as needed. Dennis

RE: Engine pitch
Alot depends on your hull, but my puller seems to like it's front raised a bit, which directs the prop wash down toward the water a little. My theory is that this helps lift the stern a little and keep the bow from slapping as much.
I just use a few washers under the engine.
