boat not getting up on plane
Sounds like you have the engine trimmed incorrectly, it should be all the way down to get your boat on a plane, then trimmed up to increase speed by lifting th bow about 3/4 trim up on the trim indicator. at full speed you have about 5,800 rpm's at approx 45-50 mph. tom quote;. Some users also report reduced exhaust noise when the boat is on plane. but the big advantage is in the boost at take-off. a well-set-up boat in the runabout or bass boat category should get on top in 4 to 5 seconds, and the foils make that possible in many cases with packages that previously took 8 to 10 seconds to get up, if they ever made it.. From idle speed on our 270 w/single 300hp merc/b3 it's: drive fully down, tabs fully down, ease the throttle up to 50% for 3-4sec, then 80% for 5-8sec(21mph), fully retract the tabs, at which point the boat speeds up aggressively so i pull the throttle back to 60-70% (3800rpm/27mph) and trim the drive to nearly parallel with the keel or just slightly fwd depending on sea conditions and load..
