Driving At higher speeds

[BassMan36]

OK i understand this. Start with motor down can ride until well about 25 mph until you should have to tilt up the motor because the bow is to low. Well When I want to pick the bow up my motor tilts but the bow does not raise. Why?? i have a Bass boat 75 HP motor. I mean I can easily raise the bow when going slow but its the point around 30 MPH...

Re: Driving At higher speeds

once under way and on plane the trim does not move the bow much......

at that point you are feeling for rpm increase..
if it increases too much.....trim it down a tad....you will feel the drive "catch" again

Re: Driving At higher speeds

Bassman, Trim of the hull is controlled by the shape of the hull, the X factor of the motor and the type of propeller. You might post a picture of the hull and advise on motor height on transom and type of prop.
