cavitation

[jeffers]

I have a 90 hp Nissan and the cavitation plate is about 1-1/4" above the bottom of the boat. It sucks air real bad when turning, should I lower the engine down on the next hole or should I try one of those fins that mount to the cavitation plate?<br /> It's fine when taking off and running on straight aways but the turns the boat slows and the engine revs up. Any suggetions?

Howdy, Jeffers.<br /><br />You've got the right idea. Lower your engine at least one hole and try it out. It will surely be better but you might need to go down one more.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB

LOWER THE MOTOR!!!!!!!!! You arer doing nothing but ruining your powerhead by running too high a rpm as well as destroying your prop, let alone killing the performance of your boat.
