I can always lower it a notch if I don't like the way it performs this weekend. And the answer is... I don't like the way it performs. Oh, it gets on plain super fast, but now I have a HARD pull to the right. I know I should be able to tilt the motor back up to about vertical, but now at cruising speed, vertical brings the prop up too high and I get excessive revving. Am I right in thinking that the hard pull is because the motor is tilted in too far? Will lowering the motor a inch (or two) actually alleviate the problem by letting me tilt out farther? Thanks! Here's a link to some info you've probably already looked at. http://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-...uld-cause.html -- Ban Krausescheiße-spouting narcissists...not guns! |
