Motor too low???
My motor is mounted through the top hole (lowest setting).
I almost can leave motor trimmed all the way down all the time. She pops right on plane but after plane I can pretty much leave it if there is any kind of chop but I usually trim it up just a bit. If it's flat I can trim up more and get a decent amount more speed but she'll pound easily and even porpoise at times.
I opened her up yesterday and got 5300 rpms (new tach) but only for a very short period, lots of boat traffic made it choppy. I'm pretty sure I would a couple or few hundred more rpm's if I timmed her up for a dfew more seconds, I think I'm propped right, 14x19p. 3800rpms = 32-33 mph, nice cruise:)
It seems like I should have more "trim down", could this be motor mounted too low, should I move up a hole?
