Eyra switch to lithiums

Question for the BassCat crew. Running a 22 Eyra , 250 Merc 4S ProXS, manual plate, 24 Fury 3-blade. Recently swapped the trolling batts to lithium from lead acid. Seems I lost a few mph on top despite the weight reduction. Anyone else had this occur? Should I maybe lower the jackplate to compensate for the lighter rear? If so, what would you suggest 1/4”, 1/2”…more? Thanks in advance for all help fellas…

I have a 22 Eyra also with Lithium’s and it likes the motor buried. I have a hydraulic Jack Plate so I lower it all the way down. I know you can shift weight to the back but I carry a Bass Pro shop in the front.
