    motor moving coming off plane

    i have a 08 zx200 with a 200 vmax with a 12" slide master jack plate.
    when i come off plane hard the motor jumps around a few times like its loose or something. checked all of the bolts and nothing was loose.
    i normaly gun the motor when the transom starts to swamp but have stopped to try to be quiet when approaching my next fishing hole.
    this is my first jack plate boat and am still learning.
    the skeeter setup seems to be ok and i can hit 68 mph @ 5900.
    the banging around motor scares me though.
    also why does the fuel tanks draw down uneven when lever is on dual?
    also i want to install a hydro tech kit phase 2 after my warranty expires. here in louisiana i need lots of bottom and mid power.
    any info?

    Re: motor moving coming off plane (no land)

    If you come off too hard, the prop is still turning at the same speed it was before and will ratchet, which can cause this sensation. It is nothing unusual or anything to worry about.
