chrisonice Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 When I add a third person on my boat (17ft crestliner w/ mercury 115 4 stroke) the boat will bounce on full speed, I will have to tilt the motor down to keep it from bouncing, am I doing something wrong or is that normal?

shortfatguy Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Pretty much normal. You are changing the load in the boat so you need to change the tilt of the motor to compensate. Thats why they make power tilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
