Yes, trimming the outboard will help to raise the bow, but efficiency will be decreased if you are forced to excessively trim the motor to...
If well designed, the additions you are proposing are very effective. They work like large trim tabs, but are not adjustable for speed or loading...
The last photo indicates the trim tab is relatively large, but if it is in the lowest position, it is approximately parallel to hull and stepped...

Wild Oats 11 has broken race record Congratulations to all those people and organisations who insist on living on the "cutting edge" of technology.
Sname Cd Is this a new CD, or is it the one released almost 2 years ago? The 2 year old one was very good.
No, this comment is NOT correct for porpoising - there is normally a trade off between efficiency (speed) and porpoising. Porpoising is caused by...
Flat vs Vee bottoms More deadrise Vee not only helps ride, it also improves resistance to porpoising, improves turning and tracking in swells.
Step venting The simple rule is any step in a planing hull must be vented - some are naturally vented and in some cases venting is difficult....
Do you think its worth spending USD 995 to get the full version? Could it be used as a replacement for Rhino or could it be considered as a...
