The motor could be mounted too high.

The cavitation plate should be at the same height (level) as the hull when they are parallel.

That is hard to change unless you can; and want to, unbolt the engine and move it down.

If all else fails, you could add the fin on top of cav plate, they do work.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

Which is a baseline, the cav plate on a plane should be riding right at the surface of the water.
