[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 142470, member: 3278"] A 12' boat is not the best for the kind of weight and placement you have in it. A 14' would do much better but you have what you have so.... 1st - Move the fuel tank as far forward as you can get it. Extend the fuel line if necessary. 2nd - Move the battery as far forward as possible also. Extend cables if you have to. 3rd - Make sure your trim pin is as close to the transom as possible, that will give you the most out of your combination. 4th - Lean wayyyyy forward when trying to plane the boat....you just might do it! To answer your question on the small knob in the center of the throttle, that is an idle adjustment knob. It controls engine idle speed when the handle is twisted back toward slow idle. Adjust as necessary. [/QUOTE]
