[QUOTE="jtf, post: 443934, member: 22611"] Pulling the boat over to east TN next week for final adjustments at the shop. A few observation and questions. This is a 16/48 Weldbilt with 20" transom 50/35 Tohatsu. Very happy with the clean open floor plan, extra storage for batteries and separated vented deck with 12 gal fuel (two 6gal). The fabricator instructed the trolling motor/batteries/tanks/floor be installed to finish tweaking the jet set up. I'm trying to put together some ideas/questions to discuss with the shop. Here's what's up... 1)Had to move motor up to last mounting holes. I think it needs 2-3 " more transom because the spray gets into hull. Would provide strength with all the motor bracket supported. 2) Set at best trim, get a bit of cavitation and porpoising. When trimmed down, gets a 6" plume of spray into boat off transom. Trimmed up, less spray but more porpoising and less fast to plane. Questions...could it be that the motor need shims to change pitch, or, perhaps a splash guard? Still think it needs a taller transom. [/QUOTE]
