yes the nuts should be on top- probably makes no difference on that rig..

That particular is brand is hands down the best on the market... I've been running one on my bass rigs for 15 years... Been paid for many times over is saved gas. DO NOT BUY ANY of the units where you don't drill- they will not stay on your engine. Drill the1/4" bolt holes and forget about it. These SE's have a fool proof template for a perfect installation. If anyone tells you these don't work- you can bet they have never tried it. Guess that's enough said..

@alphacapo Ай бұрын

If you wanna turn and get better bite. And lift at low speed You have power trim. Just tuck the motor in a bit. No need for the whale tail thats my opinion. I run a 30hp mariner on a 16x42 trim makes all the difference. I can eek out 31mph if i trim up as for as i can. But i cant corner without blowout. So when i turn i just tuck in the motor about flat trim and i can turn full lock at wide open throttle no problem. Drive your boat. I use an 11 and 12 pitch props

It looks as if trimflaps on the rear of the boat would do the same thing.. and if you install adjustable trimflaps, you can have a uneven loaded boat and still go straight..

My father did this (although on the sides instead of the outboard) to his row-boat style boat with a 5hp outboard. Before it just raised the nose up and didn't glide but after a few screws and glass fibre panels the boat started planing and top speed almost doubled with the same engine.

@briannielsbergh 2 ай бұрын

You should tell mercury, Suzuki and Yamaha, none of the know this secret

@Munakas-wq3gp Ай бұрын

They don't need this secret if the boat is the planing type and the engine is strong enough. However this trick can make a non-planing hull plane or at least semi-plane. It wouldn't make any sense to install these flaps to a planing hull.

The correct way is balance, which is the weight distribution in the boat as well as its design, gas tanks, the position of the console, etc. etc. When you see a boat with trim tabs stabilizer... you should doubt its performance.The same thing happens in an airplane, its weight distribution is important, you will not see additional wings attached to compensate the imbalance.

@@SmallCraftCruising Does the Hydrofoil flatten out the Wake? I was told it does, so it would be good for pulling a waterskiier? Have you noticed a difference in the wake with/without the hydrofoil?

@Munakas-wq3gp Ай бұрын

When you have a small boat with an outboard and the driver handling the outboard, there's no way to balance the weight unless you want to put 200kg of ballast to the nose. That would seriously hamper the performance.

I don't understand why the engine manufacturers don't just form the anti-cavitation plate in this configuration if they work so well. Seems like it would be better than an aftermarket add-on.

That drift wood is not hard to get through, and the lake goes on for miles. At full pool you can take your boat to Kirch flat camp ground, There is some very good fishing on up the lake, and when you get to the current its good for trout.

Your boat reminds me of the 1965 14ft Starcraft Runabout my brother and I restored. It came with a 25. It was not enough. The boat show had lots of great deals. We put a 40hp and it was a great kneeboard and tubing boat for 4 people. I now have a 73' 16ft with a 125hp. No reason to spend 50k on a new boat. I like the colors on yours. Very classic. We went with red top and white bottom.

@oneninerniner3427 Ай бұрын

Does that Szuk have power trim? Trim er up some when you get on plane. Also you might be able to raise the motor up some if your motor has additional mounting holes. You want the anti ventilation plate about even with or just a tad bit above the bottom of the boat. That way the fin would be just above and not really touching the surface of the water when on plane, eliminating it's drag, but should still work at lower speeds. Just my thoughts.

@alphacapo Ай бұрын

Idk what prop he has....but it's too much pitch ....that boat needs no more than 11 pitch that will get you to the top of the Rev range and better lift at low rpm. (Up on plane at a lower speed so you can cruise more efficient.

I’m running one on my 50hp on my 16 Klamath. Made a huge difference. For one your bolts are in upside down. I also trimmed mine after to reduce drag even more. Secondly, it would appear you have zero clue what trim is. With a fin your trim position is going to be different. In my boat it’s way more stable and corners better because it’s a hard v-nose light weight aluminum boat. Secondly with 5 people and gear I’m up out of the water and on step in 2 seconds. Lastly my top speed was about 24 without it and I’ve been as high as 32 with the fin. Again, learn what trim is and how to use it. I’d wager a guess you also have you’re outboard mounted to low or even too high maybe. It’s important that where the fin mounts to is in line with the bottom of your boat or slightly above. An by slightly I mean less than 1/8 inch. An yes, running a speed prop is going to change a lot as well.
