[QUOTE="clarkbre, post: 155906, member: 2634"] Stating that it's pushing from the top...................are you serious? You're saying that all the push comes from the top? Doesn't the propeller push from the bottom, thus equalling pull from the top? When the propeller pushes forward, the natural movement of the top of the motor is to go back. Similar to a car, motorcycle, or snowmobile popping a wheelie. The propulsion comes from down low and the vehicle pivots up on it's fulcrum. There is no push from the top. Even if the mtor is mounted on a point 3 feet higher than the transom, it still pushes from the same propeller position. So, with that set up, with the motor in reverse, slam on the throttle, and the bow will come up instead of dipping down? And, the motor, wouldn't try to lift itself out of the water? I'm thinking this is simple phisics. [/QUOTE]
