Hello folks!
I'm trying to figure/understand how to plane my boat on salt water trips when wind is about 12-15mph. I watched online videos on YouTube & tried trimming the outboard, but just can't get it right. The boat still tends to come down hard following a small wind chop. Just trying to go moderately fast & get a smooth ride.
Does it matter where the passengers are seated (bow vs. aft) ?
I have a 16' fiberglass with an Evinrude Oceanpro 175 (if that matters). If more pictures would help, please let me know & I'll grab some.
Thank you.
