Cat turning ?

[x7734x]

Hey this is my first cat I was wondering about high speed turning. I heard about trimming down significantly on a cat when turning. Is this true? I'm going to take it easy for sure but wanted maybe some pointers/tips if you are all willing to share.
Thanks,
Brian

I just saw that boat in the trader. Good luck with the new sled

When I got my cat, I was trimming down, and turning. Some of the experienced drivers suggested a more neutral trim while turning. They said it would turn better, with less chance of hooking a sponson.
Tried it, on my cat, it worked great. I think all boats are different though, so I suggest going out and trying all different things at different speeds.

I have heard the same as Phebus, neutral trim to turn.

any difference in the theory between a center pod and a true tunnel?

sweet daytona! i never trimmed in at speed unles i was in rough. i only had a hard time at 40-45 twice and i spunout both times. damn jet skis cuting in front of me above 90mph i would turn slow and very wide. above 55-60 it will lean in on turns and feel very stable. you've got the best 25' cat ever designed i.m.o. and after time you will feel very confident in it. enjoy!!!!

For clarification, the people I spoke with owned center pods.

I like a more neutral trim on my 25. Plan your turns. Go wide. Practice , practice, practice. Its pretty easy to get in to trouble with these boats!

Sean,
What ever you do don’t trim all the way down on that A/O when turning hard in chop –you’ll drop a sponson and barrel roll it.
