also depends on how high the prop is and how far it is away from the stern of the boat

that wouldn't cause it to hop
raising the hight would change how lose the boat runs or how wet it runs. the length back from the transom mainly changes the way it turns.

you said two different things.
trimming the drives down and lowering the drives.
both different things.
to trim meant to adjust on a angle and when you adjust them down it will stop that.
but to lower a drive is to make the prop lower in the water with the same angle of attack.
