Heres what I ended up with to finish off this thread.
I ended up buying a Vance 3inch set back jacking plate.....manual adjust. To play with the motor height.
After taking the time of adjusting it over a period of trips. I have found the sweet spot.
The motors current position sits 2 inches higher now than before the jackplate, so 3 inches above keel.
Big improvement again with handling and will be the final setup. Very happy with the way it runs now.
Adjusting the jack plate any higher than this a decline in performance can be felt.
Current height feels like everything is centred and balanced.
