...And in general most boats are going to be on plane at 3000RPM and up, so safe to say on the majority of boats to have the trim all the way down/in when under 3000RPM and as you increase speed and RPM the boat & engines will want more trim up/out (until porpoising).
Thanks.

You can trim up and throttle down at the same time if you have a good feel for your boat. Most people find it a bit easier to perform these actions separately at least at first until they understand how the boat will react.
I found out i was doing it wrong al the time. I always trim all the way down and give full throttle haha.
Does the topspeed become higher when you trim up when at full throttle?

I'm gonna try it as soon as i'm in my boat again.

If you are referring to a hydraulic jackplate, that moves the entire outboard up and down vertically on the transom, that usually has a separate stalk on the dash, behind the steering wheel like on a car, and has a completely different purpose.
