Driving at Full Throttle

[BassHog007]

Been driving to get the chine walk down but it gets very hairy at 75-77. Any advice for eliminating this? Also, can you enter gradual turns, such as a turn in the main channel going that fast and not trimming down?

Do you have Hydraulic or No-Feedback steering?

Seat time. You have to learn to feel the boat before it starts to walk and make small corrections with the steering wheel to the left. Take your time and you will get it.

Everything rebel1 said plus make sure the boat is balanced

I found that seat time helped on mine when i first bought it but there were 2 other very important factors that almost eliminated the chine walk. First was the height of the motor, certain heights on my 210 just made the chine walk horrible until I found that sweet spot. Second and the most important for me was the prop. I had a Trophy prop on it originally and until I finally threw an ear off of it and replaced the prop I didnt realize this was my chine walk problem. I went to a TXP and my chinewalk almost all dissapeared.

You can also fill your livewells when your trying to get WOT, it helps sometimes. But like the others said,it just takes time so dont push it in a tight spot,make sure you got plenty room around you..

You would be best advised to trim down a bit when making high speed turns to keep it from falling off the pad and digging in harshly..... Chine walk will become less and less of an issue with more seat time... When up on the pad you will have learn how to make the small , constant corrections to keep it balanced there . Blazers and Bullets have a bit of a concave pad which makes them easier than most high perf boats to keep flat on the pad ....

Will measure it this weekend. Probably just need more WOT seat time. I mostly fish on the Ohio River and it's like a mine field out there with trees floating down the river so I usually only run 50-60 mph.

concave pad ?

[canadabullet]

The pad is mostly flat but slightly down turned at the end of the sides on Blazers and Bullets.

miss that Blazer don't ya it's funny not much of a diffrence sitting in a BULLET . EXCEPT tHE WOOD. .

If you want an early dirt knap, you will want to trim down when going around corners....

I second that

And I believe the pad has "wedge", which some people call training wheels.

Fist couple of times out in mine I thought i'd never be able to drive it, but as already stated seat time is the answer.

Seat time...learned this with the previous Stratos ASX! Always trim down b4 letting off the throttle too...lots of guys get walking and panic and jerk their foot off the brap pedal and this just makes it worse (ask the wife )...always trim her down first!

I raised my jackplate 1/4 inch on my Skeeter and it helped tremendously. Raising the motor gives it less leverage to lift the boat. Make sure your rooster tail is as high as the top of the motor. (Thats where mine seems to be best)

SECOND THAT. It's as easy to stop as a train and needs the same distance (as the 2 jet skiers found out Friday when blindly cutting across my bow
) Trim down and back off slowly.If your set up is close, your corrections will be small. I'm still learning too.....
