I’m running a 21’ Phoenix. My last Phoenix had the same hull with an SHO, now the Merc. Just broke in the Merc over the course of a couple days. Two questions:
1) I noticed with a full gas tank it really killed the hole shot, which was only ok to begin with. It definitely doesn’t pop up on pad like the boat did with my SHO. Mid range and top end seem fine, a bit slower, but it’s mainly the hole shot. I always ran my SHOs with a 24P Fury 4 with all PVS holes plugged. I took the prop off my SHO so same exact prop on the boat now. Drill out some PVS plugs?
2) The motor vibrates (you can see wheel shake) between 1800-2400 RPM - then goes away and otherwise no shaking and smooth running. Any thoughts on that?
