I bought my first aluminum bass boat after owning 3 fiberglass ones. I am having a porposing issue with it and was looking for some help with it. It's starts proposing at 37 mph @5k rpm.
Motor is a 75 Mercury 4 stroke
18 pitch Mercury Vengeance 3 blade prop
Motor is mounted in its lowest position.
It was previously one hole up from lowest but was moved down by the dealership trying to resolve this issue. This did nothing to change the issue, same problem, same speed at the same rpm
Is this just the nature of a shorter aluminum boat or is something not right? I know this motor maxs out at around 6k, so I know there is theoretically more than I can get out of it. Hole shot is fine, drives well, no issues except for this one.
Thanks in advance.
