First trip out

[460 jus getn it]

Made my first trip out for the season, all went well. I can say that i could tell the difference right off the bat in the shoe and plate. The pump felt like it was loading so damn hard(maybe because the shoe is .125 below the keel. I have to address that this week. The plate was set at 2.5* degree from the rideplate seat. The shoe that is in there is a 2 deg tapper and i could see where the term carry the nose comes from. Still have the ass end planted, couldnt be because i didnt pull the plate up at all threw out the day(water was horrible and the beach was packed)
I tested the boat on shut down, 4k turn it off and it went straight, 4500 same thing, 5k no difference.
Thinking of ordering a back-cut as well and see if i can get the boat aired out.
All in all it was a great day. No intake leaks, loose battery.
I have to say thanks to MIKE DARNER, the end that attaches to the carb fell off the cable and i had to drive back into town. Mike was on his way out the door and stopped to help me and get me on the road. Thanks MIKE.

I'm tellin' ya...the only reason you had those problems is because you're black. :D :D :D

If you're carrying the nose high and the tail is planted, try running it with the plate at 1 degree before you buy the back cut shoe. That might help. If that plants the nose, then go for the back cut shoe. If you have questions, PM me. If all of this doesn't help, we may have to call upon the great Rondane for help. He He!

He needs to set the plate correctly. He has no idea where the plate is in relation with the keel. I will have to help him get the plate set correctly. Then he can go and test again.
Is there any way to correct a mis aligned shoe? This shoe was not cut square from american turbine:eek:

If you mean by misalined, that the plate doesn't come out the back of the boat straight, yes you can. By making a new plate, and taper cutting the front edge until you have it straight. Then put the attachment bolt holes in the plate and bolt it on.

The shoe is square, the flat part of the shoe is high on one side. The plate comes off the back of the boat just fine and everything is lined up.

When i first had the pump in i had it in crooked. Once i aligned it and put everything back together it lined up.
