Blake, I am wondering what could be causing the prop on your long shaft motor to not be properly submerged.
My 9 hp Honda long shaft is mounted on the transom. The prop is well under water. I have never had a problem with cavitation, even with my weight and a heavily loaded berth on the bow when sailing alone.
