Sf 175 ? about the transom

[vtdeadwood]

I was wondering if the transom angle is to steep I trim out and I am not certain if I am trimmed all the way but I am maxed out should I shim??

Don't think there is a problem with the transom angle. You may have a weight distribution problem or a prop that does not have enough bow lift.

I had the same problem. I believe it was my bow lift. Try a trophy four blade prop. Trophy is good for bow lifting

Not so- a Tempest(3 blade) has bow lift. The Trophy has stern lift. The Tempest is usually considered to be a little faster.

No, your just not willing to lie on a public forum and get called out on it.
