I just bought an older 18' Spectrum pontoon with a very nice Suzuki 70 4stroke on back. Max speed 17 knts and appears to be really dragging the motor mount support and putting out a large wake from the mount. The motor mount is a similar to one in the photo, structural, and cannot be modified as far as I know.
We moved the engine up as high as it could go with no improvement. I suspect the engine is a little heavy.for the boat.
Any ideas for improving efficiency/speed and reducing drag with the current engine?
Thanks
Alfonso
