Are you dropping your trim angle when turning? If your turn is more than just a few degrees... it's usually necessary to reduce the trim angle.

If I feel it getting loose, I'll trim down, but that's rare, usually set myself up to take wider, less sharp turns. I'm going to replace fuel pump and all lines from tank to primer bulb (it's already new from there). I'll update then.
I have a 1986 Mercury Black max xr2 s/n OB 129429, What is the recommended wot on this motor be on plane? Does anyone have a recommendation on a prop pitch, looking for a stainless steel for a Skeeter starfire 150 bass boat. Just bought the boat and believe it is propped wrong, currently it has a Mach stern drive 13.5 x 22 4 blade on it. At 6100 it is 54 mph. Need help. Thanks
If you would, please open your own (separate) thread for your engine, in the correct forum (2.0/2.4/2.5L Forum, one below this one). Thanks!Originally Posted by jrw33862
