DonV has a Tohatsu 250 on his and should be able to help you out.

My cavitation plate is just at 1" above the keel, when the plate is parallel to the 3" wide flat section of the hull. I had the installer mount it on the next to last hole, I'm going to move it up the the last hole which will make it 1 1/2 to just less than 1 3/4" up. Just haven't done it yet. Oh yeah, I have a 25" shaft and wish I had bought a 30" and built the transom up to 31"......hindsight is wonderful!

Thanks guys, I probably should have added another inch but that's the story of my life.
