Heavy in the Rear
Submitted by Jackfrost80 on Sat, 2015-12-05 14:15
Had my boat for almost three months now and I've always felt it was heavy in the arse and the outboard sat too close to the water level on the plain and need to trim in right in to stop it porposing when I hit a small swell or some chop.
Had a chat to my marine mech when I was getting something else done and he asked it it threw up spray when going at low speeds which is does so he's measured it and moved it up a bolt hole.
Waiting for a chance to get her in the water to try her out but do you think I can expect higher speeds now as well with less drag in the water? Would be nicer to get an extra knot or two sitting in the 4500rpm mark.

always a trade off

Should get a little extra speed but also more likely to cavitate in turns etc

The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
