Default Re: Minimum Planing Speed

Forgot to mention, I also have a Doelfin installed, on old motor as well as new one. For the low planning speeds, you generally have to trim motor all the way down and put the trim tabs down. On the 25" shaft new motor/bracket setup, engine trim seems to have much more effect on running angle than on the old 20" shaft motor hung on transom. Maybe there's some extra leverage involved with the 30" setback on the bracket!
