Boat Forum / Cruising / April 2005

Seems like there are advantages to getting your outboard prop deep in the water, so
under certain wavy conditions, it will not come out of the water.  There must be some disadvantages
to putting it down too far, short of having the carburetor sucking
up water.  How far down can you set your outboard before you create problems, and what would those
problems be?
