An update: I raised the Panther tilt so that it was in line with the top of the transom, lifted by about 60mm, and the anti-cavitation plate is now above the bottom of the hull. Trimmed right down, lot less bow up on getting up to plane, and with 1 light person and a bucket of sand up front, was able to find a comfortable speed without porpoising. With two people up front, there was no sign of porpoising at all. Outboard is now at more acceptable height and not looking like being immersed in the water. Lot less spray from the motor as well. Not planning any more adjustments. Thanks again to all. |
