 Scott.  Do you have any added weight to the bow?  I believe we have similar set ups in regards to the I/O and kicker.  My new kicker is probably a good 40-50lbs heavier then what I had on last season.  I’m also adding another downrigger. I’m a bit concerned the bow will be riding higher then I’d like. I plan to add trim tabs but that won’t do anything for trolling speeds.
