Thanks Calvin (y)

Take a sharpie and mark your JP as a starting point before you do anything. For best results make sure both sides come down the same amount. Sometimes you have to hop up and down on the motor anti cavitation plate before to tighten everything back down to get everything settled in. I'm more of a move things an 1/8' at a time kind of a guy, but then again I've been known to make teeny tiny adjustments on the water when trying to get one dialed in just right LOL.

I agree, 1/8" to get it right. 1/4" will get him in the ballpark though. Some jackplates will not move in 1/8" increments, just depends on the adjustment they use.
Curt:
My jackplate is a TH Marine unit. Based on what I saw of it when installing it, adjustments can be made in very fine increments.
There is a single bolt dead center that is used to raise and lower the unit, with bolts on each side to hold everything snug once adjustments are made.
JackJ:
You might try out a different prop also.
