Hello all. <br /><br />I bought this boat last fall and have had only 2 test runs. Last weekend I noticed a good amount of spray coming sraight up from the motor and constantly spraying the back cones. Not too much coming forward of there. I was checking the outboard for some deflection, etc, but could not identify an issue there. <br />I do have Dinghy Dolly Wheels and I made brackets that come to within 1" of the bottom edge of the transom and they do not seem to be the source of this. <br /><br />I thought once I was on plane that this would stop but it did not. Any advice would be helpful.

Have you checked the heigth of your motor? The anti-ventilation plate should be level or ever so slightly above the bottom edge of your transom.<br /><br />Try shimming it up an inch or so and see if that settles the spray down any. Also make sure your boat is properly inflated, particulairly the keel.<br />Cheers,<br /> Snow.
