[QUOTE="rgpemt, post: 197640, member: 5684"] I'm new as well to this site, you will get plenty of answers! I will suggest that you avoid rocks! Just kidding! PFD's are a great place to start, you'll be surprised how fast that boat will go when you fall off of it! make sure its centered on the transom, that the cavitation plate is even (at least close) to the bottom of your boat when mounted, and then, play with the trim pin...adjusting the angle of the motor shaft. If it is flat against the transom, your going to be pushing the bow down, if it is out too far, you will not get on plane, it has to be just right, you will notice a difference with each pin setting. Most of all...HAVE FUN! Safe boating! [/QUOTE]
