215DC repower question 🙋‍♂️

[Aqualife]

Getting ready to repower my 1999 215DC. Pretty sure I’m going with a Suzuki 200. Current motor is a 1999 Johnson 200. Couple of questions below - all input is welcome.

- Often idle in and out of shallow waters. Any suggestions on a Jack plate? Brand, setback, etc?
- Looking to add trim tabs. Electric vs. hydraulic? What size?

Thanks
Trey

I did that exact motor swap…. No idea about a Jack plate etc….

Plugger - what’s your top speed and what prop are you running?

Not a WOT guy but I’ve touched 40 mph and in a twenty footer that’s plenty
Have had a 3/16/20 and a 3/16/18.5 both Suzuki props not much difference.
