Default RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

Why wouldn't it work? Would prolly work pretty good, except if one pontoon is up high other down low etc... as going through rapids.

Hey quicksilver I moved all the stuff right to the front of the boat. The nose was almost submerged and the rear was out of the water so much that the jet couldn't start unless I forced the rear under the water to get it going. This corrected some of the porpoising until I hit 2/3 then it just came back.

Idea's to fix this? I would like to use trim tabs as a last resort, should I pull out the drive and cut more off the hull? It seems that the front is too buoyant, and maybe reset the drive so the jet is shooting lower(right) to get the hull down?


Oh yea... If I did go the trim tab route, where to stick... outter edge, middle close to centre?
