I bought a used boat with a Volvo Penta SX-M outdrive. When we took it out it kicked up a rooster tail much like a wave runner. We pulled it out of the water and all I can see that might create drag causing the rooster tail are the Thrust plates on either side of the outdrive. Has anyone else had this issue and have ideas on how to fix it? It seems like they are held on from the inside of the outdrive. Any suggestions on how to deal with this would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.
