i am a newbie, just bought my boat a few months ago and am still figuring out a few hows and whys. but there is one thing that i can't quite figure out what is up...<br /><br />sometimes my boat will throw up a 6 foot rooster tail right behind the boat that actually is so close it hits the motor cover itself. when it happens i'll stop for a second trim up the engine, check the prop(nothing is ever wrong), trim back down and continue on my way with no more tail. this usually happens after being on the water for a while. i usually have my engine trimmed all the way down when cruising and most of the time it works fine.<br /><br />i have a 1972 glastron v-178, 17 ft, trihull, 1973 johnson 115 ob, 19 pitch prop.<br /><br />like i said, i am new to the boating thing, so this question may have a simple answer. <br /><br />thanks for any help you can give me. great forum in here guys, have learned alot by just reading past posts.
