Chine walk becoming a pain.

[Magnum1500]

I'm running a 1992 2.0L 140 hp looper on a 210kg 15ft V-bottom ski race hull. Chine walk is just starting at 50 mph, but I know that if boat was set up better it should do 60 mph +.<br /><br />Engine is on a jack plate with 6" set back off transom. current cav plate is 60mm above bottom of boat.<br /><br />I have installed a water pressure gauge to ensure that I do not jack mtr too much and lose water pressure<br /><br />I am running a 13 3/4" x 23" chopper at 5000 rpm when the chine walk starts<br /><br />I have a steering wing with cables that are reasonably tight, but not piano wire tight.<br /><br />I have added approx 90 lbs up front under deck and this has helped a little.<br /><br />Will jacking the motor up be of help to alleviate Chine walk?

Hey Magnum.<br /><br />Sounds like a topic for Prop Questions and Topics. I'm going to move it over there....good knowledgable folks there. Maybe get some help there.<br /><br />Good Luck!
