Hey guys....looking for some ideas. I have a Stratos 294 with a 200 merc. I have twin 10' talons mounted via MK jack plate mounting brackets and a 6" Slidemaster jackplate.
What I've experienced is both talons drag the water when on plane. Not by much, I'd guess an inch or so, but it's enough it impacts performance considerably. I have them as high on the brackets as I can, and I have the mount as high on the bolts as I can on the slidemaster (i think). Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how did you resolve it? I know it's a lot of weight, but I'm trying to find a way to squeeze another inch or two in height and I should be golden.
I'd be grateful for any assistance.
