After a much longer than anticpated rebuild on our boat (16.5' Glasspar Citation, 1973) and putting a newer motor on (1981 Johnson 70hp 3cyl) we finally got out on the water the last 2 days. I noticed while pulling a tube and making a charp turn that the prop seemed to lose it's bite and the motor revved up while the forward momentum dropped off. This never happened with the older motor (a 1968 Evinrude Sportfour) but then again it may not have the same amount of power. I had the trim set at one notch above the center position, so I am wondering if I need to trim it back down to prevent this from happening. The motor is set at the lowest possible vertical position, and I believe the anti-cavitation plate is a bit below the bottom of the hull (I'll double check that).
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for the help
