    Propoising



    I was asked by another member to shoot a vid of running slow. This is what I got, which also shows that Skeeters can be run at slow speeds without proposing.

    I started off backing down a bit briskly on the speed in the beginning which started a small bounce, then I drove out of it, and slowed down to 17mph, after that you can see the trim go up and I gassed it inducing the proposing, then got back out of it and slowed down. I never adjusted the jack plate either during the run.

    Stock 24p Fury 4 during this video. I will try to get one with a T1/T1 prop in a month or so.

    These are pretty much the same speeds/result I get in my 2005. I'm embarrassed how much of a novice I was when I asked my porpoising questions here but everybody was very patient (tolerant), with me. It really is time in the saddle. Now I have absolutely no issues!
