Jack plate size

I have a 87 Venus with a 83 200hp 2.4 and 5.5" manual jack plate. Going to invest in a hydraulic. Should I go with more set back?

Re: Exhaust can removal

Thanks. Ran it today and could set my hand on it without a sting or burn. I have water pressure gauge. Funny thought at the house 5 psi in water 20 psi. All I did was new T stats?
