Shot this video coming back from coffee a few days ago. A lot of wakes, so I never opened it up, ut later in the video I did run it up to about 55mph.
Clamped the GoPro to the stern light. Next time I’ll get it closer to the engine.

As much setback as you have, I would be real curious about raising your motor up. What's your prop to pad measurement now?

How much setback is that? Easy to experiment by raising the motor up one bolt height given the big diameter of that Bravo prop. Also, still would find a shop with a "power bleeder" if there is one close to you even though you have the hand held unit. Not expensive and checks off that important box.

...nice video. boat runs nice too. yeah, if when you go even faster, and its chinewalking a bit, then its mostly cause of your generous setback. but that can be cured, as the boat seems to ride nice the rest of the time.

That a crazy amount of setback for a 24 super.

We had an overcast calmer morning yesterday. Was running 65 on the gps with no chine walk. Playing with the trim. Up a couple bumps, it’d start to wiggle a bit, one click down and it stopped.
I’ll get some measurements (pad to prop) as well as some pics to show the relationship of motor to hull.
Thanks everyone for all the help!

That is the PERFECT place to run while learning your boat. One click down and you are back safe. One click up and you start learning! Lol

Looks like you're running the Fleet Master. It appears low in the picture but you'd have to measure your propshaft to pad, you can raise it pretty high, which will help with handling, torque etc. But the Fleet doesn't have the torque tab like the TM. Once you dial in the height, like all the others said, just drive it, learn etc.

I got a suction cup mount for the GoPro so next time out I’ll get a close up of the engine leg at speed. The weather hasn’t been great here the last few days.

Was calm coming back from town the other day. Got it up to 72mph on the Garmin.
Was looking at the engine mount. Looks like I can go 1 hole higher.

Raise it up one for sure. Did you power purge the steering yet?

Not yet. I did use the bleeder tool I have. Spent some time to get all the air out. Now when I try to move the motor by hand I get maybe 1/4” of movement whereas before it was well over an inch. Made a big difference in steering feel. Much more connected.
As to the height of the motor I can say that the cavitation plate is slightly above the aft lower edge of the bracket, which is well above the aft edge of the pad. Of course the pad is @ 2’ ahead of the back edge of the bracket.Last edited by Reynard38; 09-19-2020 at 01:42 PM.
