[QUOTE="nlester, post: 268717, member: 8483"] Frogman Ladue, your are a little understated. Knowing nothing about boats, when you said trim, I thought weight distribution. After a couple of days, I started to think that maybe you meant something else. Okay, I can't raise my motor but since I can't plane and my calvcation plate is only good as a step if I fall in, that should not make any difference. I looked my motor over really well and I found a way to move the prop 1/2 a hole closer to the transom. I'll try that out tomarrow. If that doesn't work, I'll try moving the prop forward with shims on the transom to see if that makes any difference. Whither this works or not, thank you for pointing me in a direction that I had not considered. I am still thinking of ways to improve my flotation on the transom. It is only a 10' er 2.5 hp but it is all I have to play with right now. I have more time than money. [/QUOTE]
