[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 400599, member: 15636"] [b][i]Before [/i]you add anything[/b] ... where is you OB mounting height set? The vent plate above the prop should ideally be out of the water whilst running on plane, with OB trimmed out until she vents (RPMs rise, noise rises, prop slips), then trimmed back down just enough to stabilize RPMs and stop the venting/prop slippage. Here are my top 2 boating[i] pet peeves[/i] ... #1 - 85% of boats run the wrong prop - too much pitch! #2 - 95% of boats have the OB mounted too deep ... [/QUOTE]
