When I have a child on a ski-biscuit the engin struggals to get on the plane and sits at about 3000 rpm, if there is no biscuit at the back of the boat being towed the boat gets on the plane fairly easy and gets up around 6000 rpm. I have been using a Ski pole at the back of the boat could the hight have any thing to do with it? I found you have the erge to try and push the remote as hard as you can to try and get more gas. :confused: Any help is apprieciated.

Bevin<br />Do you have electric Tilt and Trim on your motor? If so. you might want to trim it IN a little until you get going. If you don't have T&T, might try triming the motor IN one hole(Manually) when you pull someone.
