Maybe you can help me RussF. I ran it yesterday, about an inch above the pad. The rpms came on up to 6000 like I wanted. The problem is, it starts to go into a propwalk occilation when you start getting into the throttle at high speed, and gets progressively worse until it wants to go into a full blown chinewalk. I am thinking that I don't have enough torque tab built into my skeg. What do you think? If I add more tab, will it help keep the lower unit from wanting to pivot up to the right, in the direction the prop is taking it? It seems like there is just not enough tab there to keep the lower unit locked in, if you understand what I'm saying. When I'm running 1 1/2" lower it tracks fine, but obviously there is more lower unit in the water for stability. I feel like I'm close to getting it right, and I hope it can be remedied by adding some more suface area to the tab. Help me out here, if you can. Thanks.
