Re: turns while tubing

While tubing I like to get the rider on the same side of the wake and turn towards them this slings them accross the wake and as you continue to turn back and forth you can get a pendulum effecto going for a great ride for 180 degree turn i would trim under to help the prop hold and just keep turning.

I keep my trim in (down) when pulling a tube. That works only if you can get enough speed trimmed down. What boat and power combo?<br /><br />BTW, welocme to Iboats.

It is a 89 bayliner 2.3 so it is needing all th e tricks of the trade to help out with power just ordered a hydr-foil to get it up on plane and stay there.. got it cheap and just getting all the bugs worked out.Just got the points dwelled in right going out to see how big of a difference
