how do i stop water from rushing against the lower unit part of the motor and arcing up and into the boat? . i have a 20 inch transom now with one for a long transom. and the bottom of the gear box pushes water |

Sounds like you have a short transom boat and a motor set up for a tall transom. |

Have you played with separate trim settings? Is the boat plaining out? Are there bad hooks in the hull? |

i checked it 2day and it measures almost 20 inches and the guys at the dealer said its the correct motor. has anyone ever used a jack plate with a mud motor? then i could mess around with the motor height |

I would say the pods are a lot of your problem. Your boat isn't ideal but its not causing the water hitting the transom issue. |

it did that water thing before the pods to. the pods just level the boat out a bit since the motor is so heavy |

I used to have a grizzly 15-42 with a 23 on it and it did pretty good. |

I may be wrong but it seems to me that the pods are creating a narrower channel for the water to come into, making it go in the boat, I'm no expert either, that's just what I'm picturing. |

Does the transom height measure 20" or from the top of the transom to the bottom of the boat measure 20" if it's the latter, you've got a short transom with a tall transom motor. |

Take a picture from the bottom, sounds like the gear box as you call it is acting like a board hitting the water giving the reason some think you have a tall transom motor on a not tall enough transom hull. |
