I have a 1468 Polar Kraft mod-v jon boat and I've been running my 15hp mercury 4 stroke on it. Last trip out on the lake I noticed that the motor was throwing a small rooster tail at full speed. You can see what I'm talking about in the video below The manual trim bar is missing so the motor is tilted as far forward as possible. I have a new pin coming in the mail and should be here in time for my next fishing trip. My understanding is that motors tend to throw rooster tails when it is angled too high. So if the motor is in the lowest position, actually angled forward and the prop is pushing at a downward angle in relation to the hull, why am I getting a rooster tail still? Also, when I get the trim bar, how will I determine the proper trim angle for my boat?
Thanks for the help!
