Steve maybe I missed it, but why did you add the spacer? We're you having trouble rolling over or was it cavitating? or both?

on take off you had to peddle the boat to get on plne.. it got on easy , but you could feel that the prop was slipping, then at cruse speed the same... when going to WOT...

but, I think it is having a neg affect on top end because of those cav plates grabbing.. I'm sure missing my ol friend brian at the real B&D marine cause he really know his shit when it comes to drives..

1.5 sounds pretty aggressive to me. 1/2" can make a huge difference, both ways.

The tabs didn't make up for the chine walking when the drives didn't have the spacers?

it doesn't really chine walk, and I figured it out today.. when you trim up the drives are grabbing water from the front part of the cav, plates,.. that causes that side to grab... it trys to grab one side , then the other... it's a slight weird feeling, but after looking makes sense ...once you trim up farther it kinda goes away...hard to explain... but I think I know how to fix it Originally Posted by hallett21
