I need to know what pitch and style of prop you have to offer an opionion though.
I thought that it was for every 12 inches, you would raise it an inch.

My bracket has a 30" setback, so we started off with it 2.5" higher.

If I followed your rule of thumb, it would be raised 30 inches, i don't think the prop would get much bite in the water.
