I have a manual jackplate and I recently added dual 8' Sportsman II power poles w/ sandwich brackets on my boat.
The only real difference I notice is in the handling, and what I'm experiencing is a little bit of porpoising when getting up to speed, or when traveling at any speed under WOT...unless I'm trimmed all of the way down.
I am figuring I need to make a slight jackplate adjustment to compensate for the added weight on the transom.
Does anyone know if my first adjustment should be up or down on the jackplate? Anyone experience this?
Thanks
