lots of water splashing

[river critter]

I got to run my pontoon with the new (to me) 2001 4 stoke 75hp merc . I noticed that it sits lower and splashes alot more water around the motor pod and back of the toons than it did with a 1983 90 hp 2 stroke mariner .

I know the merc is about 90 pounds heavier than the mariner. There is no water in toons I've shook it repeatably. Any other reasons?

A lot of toons splash water, ours does and most that I see do as well.

Mine did the same thing too.

After I underskinned it, it dosen't do it as bad. The water hits the floor and shoots off in a nice wide stream now

Mine did the same thing, I moved the motor up 1 hole as it seemed to be plowing a little and this helped alot.
