Thanks guys. I have had the boat out by myself since the other day and have noticed an issue. I'm having problems getting the boat to plane out without the added weight of my buddy up on the bow of the boat. I fish a lot by myself so this is going to be a problem. What exactly am I supposed to do I have never had this problem before

Basically a plate that has a like a shock absorber that keeps pressure on the plate .. It moves up and down depending on rate of speed . It pushes the back of the boat up resulting in faster plane and planing at lower speeds .. They have different strength adjustments ...
