I'm getting married in March and after that I'll have some extra funds to get one. One of those stabilizer fins should do the trick (any suggestions on which brand?). The Wave Wackers are approximately 25 higher in price so I really want to know if they are worth the extra money.
WHITECAP WAVE WACKERS FULL
It looks like my end is too low when giving full throttle by myself. Most of the stuff I hunt in is very soft mud so it shouldn't be a problem. I could not jump on plane in 1.5' of water, but it was a hard bottom so my prop couldn't bit down in it. I make some pretty long runs and that was a major concern after the first test with the new jack plate. I think a hole shot plate or something custom to fit the bottom of the jack plate will help a lot, but in the mean time it won't be a problem.Īccording to MotionX app on my iPhone, I hit a max speed of 34mph (most likely in a tight turn or something) but maintained an average straight away speed of 31-32 which I am pleased with.Īlso, ZERO prop torque. Still had to really work the throttle, but not like before where I thought I may swamp myself. It was a drastic improvement with the water coming over the transom. I have the jack plate set to the middle setting and the thrust rod set to the second highest position. So I took my boat out this afternoon for a final test before the season fires up. I should be able to fab a piece of wood or aluminum to fit), and possible some sort of custom made covering to divert the water, but I wanted some "expert" advice from DHC.
I have read a little about hole shot plates, transom splash guards (might be my options since my transom angles down to the middle - making it the lowest part on the transom. I lowered it to a little less than half way and moved the pin to the next to highest hole setting for the motor. I had the jack plate set at the highest setting and have since lowered it, and changed the angle of the motor to have it sit more perpendicular to the boat (I set it to the second closest hole to help run flatter when by myself). From what I can tell, it is rushing up the inside of the jack plate once my motor starts to drop back into the water. Santoprene remains flexible in cold weather, has excellent ozone resistance, outstanding durability and flexibility. Whitecap uses die-cut Santoprene thermoplastic rubber the best rubber available. I put a jack plate on (about 7" of setback) and ran it this weekend and had lots of water come over the transom as soon as I started coming off plane. Whitecap Splashguard Features 1/4' virtually unbreakable tinted gray polycarbonate adds a sleek look to your boat and can withstand trailering. I have never had an issue of having to give a little gas when coming off plane due to the water wave coming over the transom when I had my motor mounted straight to the transom.
I run a 648 War Eagle with a 25 hp 2-stroke Mercury outboard.
