Yami 225 tilt adjustment help??

[Surely Bassey]

I have a 2003 228 with a 225 4-stroke and i love it. But when I tilt the motor up; it still dips in the water about 3 inches or so. Is there an adjustment on the engine tilt so that I can tilt it more??
This model is a bit butt-heavy because of the bracket, the 4 stroke and the gas tank is aft.

That's one of the issues with the heavier four strokes and with brackets. A lot of weight moves astern. Try to reduce some weight in the rear and/or add or move weight to the bow.

On the 228 Grady has the main fuel tank dead center but as far aft as the bilge. Then there is a space in front of the main fuel tank for an accessory tank; another 45 gallons or so. They really need to reverse this and put the main tank forward as possible.....

228G w/ 250 SWS II 2 stroke and does the exact same thing. It's the design of the boat.

I've seen older boats with Mercury on them and they are not in the water.Yamaha does not lift up as much as Mercury and i believe also Johnson/Evinrude.

I think you're right. The Mercury engine is 32 pounds heavier and still fully tilts off the water...
