Thanks guys. I will be moving up from the 40mm to a 42 this weekend. Then on to the 45 if all goes well with temps and torque. I am on the fence about removing the skeg from the strut. I think it's causing the twitchyness in the turns. The line between a smooth ark and a spinout is paper thin. It's a risky move to grind it off with ose down untill the 2nd. It would put me out of the water.
