Boat takes to long to plane out
I recently bought my first bass boat. It is a 2004 Triton with a 90 HP mercury.
I have had the boat for about 4 months. The boat has always taken a while to plane out but I never noticed it until a buddy of mine mentioned it. My boat takes around 30 seconds to plane out at WOT. We are talking a full 30 seconds sometimes longer if I have more people in the boat. I have played with all trim levels. if I have the trim in the middle spot it will take closer to 45 seconds to plane, with the trim all the way down it will take closer to 30 seconds to plane out. Another issue is while trying to plane out it doesnt seem like the motor is trying to work very hard. The RPM's are low (I dont know the exact number). When the boat finally planes the RPM's just ump and you can hear the motor working. Wouldnt the RPM's be the hardest and the motor be working the rpm's to plane out the boat? A buddy of mine wanted me to pull him on a tube but there is no way it would pull him on the tube. it takes for to long to plane and get up to speed that he would be dragging in the water. |
