Cat setup
Chine walking ?
How do you change setup to stop a 36" cat powered by a 81 OS Max,
from walking on sponson to sponson. It has a surfacing prop.
I can just start to get on the pipe, when it starts to flip flop.
The prop hub is level with the bottom of the sponsons.
It is using a strutter setup.I can change angles on strut and rudder,
or change depth of strut. Which way should I start?
This is my first big cat, Thanks for any advice.

RE: Cat setup
I was running a prather 250.
I have a balanced X1445/3, I can try .
I will try one thing at a time to fix the problem.
I can raise the strut a little to see if that works.
How should the strut angle be, up or down?
How about rudder angle, forward or back?
Thanks for the advice.
