That's how it looked and felt in your boat at Havi a few weeks back!:D

Holy Shinto Philosophy. That is pretty wild. Those are some rough looking seas.
When someone catches that much air; do they have to pretty much completely throttle back?

Any time you get the prop out of the water you need to back them off before they hook back up.

Sounds like BF's right about how you trim your boat.:D

In 5 foot rollers I don't think it matters.
And what the hell does BF know about trim? I don't think he's ever had any on his boat. lol ;)

When you say back off, do you mean to 0 throttle? Man, that has to be insane working throttles in a boat like that in those conditions.
BTW, I sorry for going off on you the other day. :)

I got thick skin,didnt even phase me.No probs here:D
Whenever the prop comes out of the water it takes the load off the motor,letting it rev freely and quicker,when it re-enters the water is puts a lowd on the prop and everything else connected with extreme pressure.This is how you break parts.Its much like a tire on a car spinning on something slippery then all the sudden gaining traction promptly,the shock is carried throught the entire drivetrain.Then there another twist too it,when the prop unloads the motor free revs too the moon,that alone can break parts very quickly,even if you have a rev chip in the box,it still takes a toll on the motor.
You should always have a hand on the throttle when trying to run hard in rough water.

I know enough to trim down once in awhile...... And Buddy doesn't count as trim....:eek:

I'm aware of everything you stated above. I understand the consequences of a prop coming out of the water.
My question is; are they litterally dropping the throttle into a 0 position or just cutting back RPMs dramatically. Mind you, I'm a relatively new boat owner (only 2 in the past yr or so) so I don't know if they are actually taking the stick all the way to a 0 position. I have never had my prop out of the water (that I know of) but I have throttled back (not to neutral) a few times when I felt the prop may reach a sudden negative change in pressure.
