Bumble Bee prop and j/p adjustment?
Recently bought a 95 180 provee with a 95 175 Merc black max. 23p PowerTech prop. I would like to get a lil more speed out of the boat. But right now even with a moderate prop at WOT around 58 mph with the trim at pretty much level the back of the boat tends to chime walk. I've never experienced this before in any other boat. Is my motor over powering my boat am I to fast? Any advice would be appreciated
What is your pad to c/l propshaft measurement and how much water pressure do you have?
Pad to prop is 2 1/2 in below. I've even set the motor deeper and more shallow trying to get the walk out of it...But no other position is any better than the setting it was at originally.
Oh, and pressure is around 25 if I remember correctly and WOT is bout 5700 rpms at level trim can't get but just a touch higher before the walking starts. And when it starts it gets bad REAL fast til u get it back to level.
Before you monkey with anything else...
Please recruit someone to drive your rig and see if it's the arrow or the indian.

If it starting to walk, it is fixing to run:) seat time and what Pat said will help.... after you learn how to drive the BEE, you will love it... :)

In other words learn to drive it...? I have already heard that from my dad and one of our close fishing buddies.
Not trying to be smart but they told me everyone else would say the same.
Dang ol' dads, they just have to be right all the time.

Balancing out the boat has worked the best for me. Just bought a new (2009 with 0 hours on the rig) 295 Super vee in January love the boat to death.
