Ive always been an I/O guy wityh my 87 liberator 211, A friend of mine recccciently got a 98 nitro savage 884 with a 150 nitro mercury outboard bass boat. It has a 23P qucik silver 3 blade prop.
Problem is when acceleraating trimmed all the way doen the bow rises up and then it "no sure what one, cavatitates or ventelates" and you have to back off throttle let boat settle down and start over, if you baby it and let it slowly climb up leaving bow up in air you can feather throttle and get on plane. cant take off quick, like spinning tires in snow, was thinking motor was mounted too hight seeing paint missing on lower set of holes we lowered motor from 3rd hole to lowest setting and made reall no difference, order factor manal to check everyting over and see what factory setting are but believe this is the factory outboad for this boat even has the nitro logo on engine cover,, what would cause this and how can i make changes to correct, were agverating exp when trying to take off in windy / rough conditions.
