    Getting on plane

    I have a problem getting boat to plane put when I get my live well. full of water. There is no issue when they are empty. I have a 24p prop an am wondering if I could fix it with a different prop. I so ... could I get some recommendations on the prop? I am running 97' Mercury EFI 200.

    If you are satisfied with the type prop you have just get the same one in a smaller pitch.

    What boat, what prop and how many rpm's are you turning at break over and WOT? Could be as easy as changing PVS plugs if your prop has them.

    You may also want to consider a hydrofoil on your cavitation plate. Just my .02.
    Just can't leave well enough alone!!

    exactly what Fastman said I have a 207 pro and had the same issue Only difference is I have a 225 . Installed a hydrofoil and problem solved . $50 run of the mill BPS model worked fine
