[gamblerman]

ok one more question. i just got the tempest plus and when i put it on the prop is hitting the tab on the cavitation plate. is there something i can do or do i have to run with the tab off of the cavitation plate. please help im aggravated.

Cut the tab off and just have a flat plat anode instead.

The rake and pitch causes the problem. Cut it off or just trim off what you need to leaving 3/8 clearence.

just ran the boat with that 25p temp plus. wow what a diff. i got it to 65 with 2 guys and 2 full live wells. thats all i could handle it was getting real scary. one little wake and holly sh@# ( hang on) but i get on plane faster and the top is faster and runnin bout 5700 rpm @ wot. also have one plug out. anyway i like, i just gotta learn how to control it

Try jacking up the motor to 3 inchs below the pad with the propshaft. Should drive like a dream at 65 mph.

[gamblerman]

its at 2 3/4 to 3inch already

Ran a flat plate on the Ranger w/ no problems.
Learning how to drive a G-Boat is kind of like trying to nail jello to tree. I still can't drive mine worth a crap over 70mph, maybe I'm just being chicken. But, like you it feels like things could get out of hand real f'n quick.

NUMBER 1 PROBLEM WITH GAMBLER DRIVING CONTROL!

DO NOT OVER TRIM!

I had a 98 Intimidator 2000 w/225 and only a flat anode. In stead at the time Gambler was having a tab added to the skeg.
