When was the last time you did a link 'n' synch?

Where is your AV plate located vs. the keel? What trim are you using on takeoff?

The motor should always "pee"..if it doesn't you have a problem.

lynch and synch ??? not sure

as far as the motor on the transom it is high there is a 1" gap from the bracket and the top of the transom. i usually have it trimmed in a good ways when i take off. also have a hydrofoil.

pas bon

I know there supposed to pee i just thought that the motor needs to warm up before it will pee do to the thermostat opening like it does on a car. \

thanks for the response.
