Default Re: Transom Bracket - twin outboards

it is a bear in a following sea. i am not comfortable with it at all - makes me a bit nervous actually.....

one of my favorite spots to fish this time of year is about 19 miles offshore in Lake Michigan - I cant go out there with this boat like it is.
IMHO, the motors are lifting the stern up and driving the nose into the water coming off from following seas. I was on a contender that used to do this, he put wedges in, raised the motor up, and it made a world of difference. The way you have them also will suck a lot of gas.

Get those motors at the right height, and than use your trim to get the motors into a neutral, vs negative trim state. It would really help to have someone drive the boat so you can look at the cavitation plates. If you can, shoot some pictures looking down at the plate while it is running.
