    Predator backwash

    For those who have the Predator do you find you get much water on the back deck when you come off plain?

    I've always "feathered" the throttle coming down to keep everything dry. No big deal.

    Is everyone trimming down before shutting down. I've never had any issues with back washing the deck on my TE21.
