Trim extenders?

[WaYoop]

What are your thoughts on extenders on my 181 with a 150 Merc Pat?

Good, bad, indifferent...

Thanks, Rob

Last weekend I was out with my bass'n budy,he has extenders on an EFI-225- 203 champ. His rooster tail was impressive,,so was his loss of power. After we arrived at the dock he came to the comclusion he must lower his engine 1/2 inches before his next run. Me I learned the trim button works both ways " UP- Down'
Extenders may be a good idea,,,but watch your water pressure and unless your running a Cleaver or Chopper not tooooo much roostertail. I kinda like the idea of extenders.

It's the last piece...everything else, prop, plate, etc need to be in place, and if still needs just a *bit* to air out, then fine. 181 usually is not needed.

Got 'em on my 181 but (as Pat said) also have a B&B 23p tempest+ by Mark Croxton & 6" JP... I rarely need the full *extra* trim as the lift (both transom & bow) Mark's prop magic got me are impressive, but it's there when needed depending on load... Do the prop work 1st...

I put them on my 184 with a 150 EFI. I am at 3 3/4 below pad and still run it full trim. I was thinking about lowering my motor a bit more. What do you folks think?

higher motor with less trim is usually faster.
