1. Bring boat up on plane with engine trimmed down.
2. Start trimming up engine.....can trim up till the prop starts loosing its bite and
( sounds funny from exhaust), then trim down just a little till sounds " normal".
3. Can also trim up till boat starts to " porpoise" meaning the bow rides up and down.
Then trim back down a little till the boat's riding flat again - not up and down.
This assumes it's calm enough and you're not pounding the hull on waves.
You'll want to keep the engine trimmed down to force the bow down when it's rough or else you'll pound heavily.
Trim tabs increases this range of trim - and allows you to work it in concert with the engine trim.
