[QUOTE="okavango, post: 391919, member: 14682"] The gate comes to rest against a stop, see the aluminum lug to the left of the bolt, so cannot get it any lower with cable adjustment, might have to redesign the gate. The change made to the ride plate has improved matters somewhat, and reverse is now passable, but not impressive, still better with nozzle nose up. For those having problems with porpoising, changing the angle of the ride plate caused the boat to porpoise violently, the boat manufacturer recommended I bend the small trim tabs at the base of the transom to negate this, I was astounded at how little they needed to be moved to remedy the problem. Definitely an easy cheap solution to porpoising. Will post pics when I get the boat out the water. Loaded the boat with 11 people yesterday, 5 adults 6 kids 660 kg (1455 lbs) gets on plane in about 3 boat lengths tops at 40 MPH cruises at 32 MPH. Very satisfied. [/QUOTE]
