    1999 zx202c purpoising questions

    I have a '99 zx202c with a ox66 200 on the back. Between 19-29 mph it hops real bad in the front....what could be causing this? I've tried raising the motor, lowering the motor but I. Can't seem to get it to stop. Is that just how this boat rides?

    The simple answer is yes, at low speeds, with any trim at all, it will porpoise. Things you can do to help minimize it - wedges between motor and jack plate to tuck the motor under a little more, make sure you're trimmed all the way down, or speed up. Also, you may be able to shift some weight around that may help some. A four blade prop could help some as well.

    The supposed answer is prop to pad distance. read - http://www.bbcboards.net/showthread.php?t=993339
    I don't know how far back this philosophy will effect. 1999 you have got some service from your rig.
    Good luck!
