Hey guys,
I've been out racking up the hours on my fourwinns H180 150 etec, I have found its happy spot with trim and speed (30mph @ 3000 rpm, trimmed up 1/4 on the guage), but I ran into some rough spots from general waves and wakeboard boats and had to slow down to 25mph to keep the family happy. I noticed the engine jump to 3500-4000 rpm during these slowndown times and I would lose plane. I tried messing with the trim but more down just rose the bow and made me fall off quicker and going up ventilated. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is it just that it's too slow? I have the enertia prop on there already not sure if its the 18P or 19P. Im considering putting on smart tabs if this is just due to being too slow. Don't really want to do a 4 blade as I love my 55mph top speed
