Re: Wont plane out

here's a good list of places to look for your issue assuming the engine won't reach wot spec.
other than that. ya might let us know what ya got (read this)

when ya did yer tune up, did you set it to oem specs?

ya got any extra water on board? like under the sole.

if it worked fine prior to the tune up, and failed after the tune up. personally, i'd suspect that something happened during the tune up to cause the issue. i'd go back and recheck everything i'd touched to be sure i did it (the tune up) proper..

.i raised and lowered the trim but didnt matter.
trim should be full in/down when going from plowing to planing. trimming out/up will make the boat point sky high when going from plow to plane in most boats..
