A couple weekend ago we had some friends out on the boat with us. With 8 people on board (nobody down in the cabin) the boat would not plane off. At max throttle it would plow through the water with the nose up. With 3 or 4 people it will plane off after about 50 yards and then i can pull the the the throttle back and stay on plane. Im not convinced my trim tabs are working, but i dont think it would have made much difference.
What am I doing wrong? Whats the procedure for using the engine trim when taking off?
I have been trimming the drive all the way down and then giving the boat throttle until it comes up on plane, then trimming the drive up to pick the boat up. Am i doing this wrong? Ive never operated such a heavy boat.
