Where Should My Center Of Gravity Be?
I originally set my Revolt 30 up with a rather heavy Garmin GPS in front of the batteries so I could see which prop would give me the most mph. Now that Ihave chosen a prop which works quite well I took the Garmin out. Went to run the boat today and noticed a little problem. It runs smooth and true at half throttle but when running WOT the bow gets a little too light and the whole boat rocks violently from side to side. If I don't back off on the throttle it will get airborn. Before I adjust the plane tabs in the back I thought Iwould find out if my CG was even close to where it should be. On a 30" hull without the Garmin weighing the front down my CG was about 8" from the stern. I decided to shift the batteries forward in the tray and now the CG is 9 1/2" from the stern. I will test it out tomorrow but just wanted to ask if there was a general rule where the CG should be?
Thanks in advance for your help,
