BCB – Jack Plate Height moving from Fury 3 to Fury 4

I have a 16 Cougar AE with 2- 8 Power Poles, 3 batteries, 36 gallon fuel capacity. I am currently running the 26P Fury 3 on my Merc 250 ProXS with a 8" Jack Plate (JP) with the prop shaft 3" below pad (it can go higher). I reside in the northwest corner of South Carolina. I have run out of RPMs with the 26P Fury 3. It really needs the 27P Fury 3, or go to the Fury 4. I am swtiching to a 26P Fury 4 (received it yesterday!) My question is, I thought that I saw it stated by BCB before that when moving to the Fury 4, the recommendation was to move your JP up a 1/2" - am I recalling correct or was that my imagination :-)?Thanks in advance for the help!

The prop can be run a little higher than the 3. Trial error for each rig though, it is a legit prop IMO.

Imagination, we dont suggest heights as we only set performance by torque.

If there is steering torque, lower the engine. If there is no torque raise it till you have a little bit.
