twsykes, you need to calibrate your merc monitor or smartcraft monitor, whichever one you have. The calibration is done there for full tuck under to be "0". Take a pic of your gauge so we can see which one you have.
TW,Thanks for that info Tim. I just now saw what you posted and I will look at the engine holes today. I did the below yesterday.

I see there's a twsykes as a member profile and a Tim Sykes in this post. Are you the same?Interesting. Thanks for the tip. I think the pic might be a little deceiving. I am running there between two islands but I will definitely remember the tip Thanks
How fast is your boat top speed wise? Also, do you have pro poles?TW,
You are in North Carolina correct. I would call Lee Sanderson and take it up to him and let him do his magic. He took my boat (XB-21 ProSport) that was taking 8 to 18 seconds to get on plane and got it to come out of the hole in 3 to 4 seconds with a 28 Bravo 1 FS (they add 4 holes). He also installed some 2 degree wedges in it so it would tuck under more for a better hole shot. Robbie did some modifications to the lower unit, which made it drive and handle considerably better. It was money that was well spent. I also have a prop for tubing that is a 24 pitch fury 4 and this prop comes out of the hole super quick. I had 5 people in the boat and was running 80 easily. TALK TO LEE SANDERSON and have him set up your boat.
