help - list problem

[wjphunter]

I have a 98 fisher 16' fiberglass boat w/90 hp mariner on it. At crusing speeds the boat leans hard left side.I've searched the forums @ this site on this problem .In the water @ low speeds it is fine. Just at high speeds this happens ,is there a permanate fix besides installing those trim tabs.After all it is a 16' bass boat and I don't like those big trim tabs hanging off the boat.<br />Will raising the motor up help?<br />How about taking off the whale tale?<br />Adjusting the trim anadoe above the prop?<br />At this point I'll try anything that might work this is a wild ride if you know what I mean.<br /> Thanks for taking you time to help<br /> wjphunter

Take the whale tail off.<br /><br />Looking from the back, the tab above the prop should face slightly to the right.<br /><br />I have an 11' boat that I installed small manually adjustable trim tabs. Made all the difference in the world!<br /><br />If you can raise the motor enough for the whale tail to clear the water when you're on plane, leave it on. It'll plane you faster and not hamper on-plane performance.<br /><br />It's all hit-or-miss. Experimentation is the key. Have fun doing it!
