Guys, dont forget to check the mounting bolts on your transom. Ive been having issues with porpoising. I was running a 26 Fury with no problems. I put on a 25 Turbo TXP-OT4. This is when I noticed the porpoising. So I attributed the porpoising to the prop. Yesterday I put back the Fury and today it was still porpoising. I figured something else must be the cause. When I got home I checked the bolts that mount the jack plate to the transom. 5 of the 6 were extremely loose. I tightened them. Not sure if this was the cause of my porpoising problem as I havent ran it after tightening. Have a club tourney on Sunday. Should have an idea after that. Aaron

Be sure to reseal your mounting bolts also.
