Looking for a little help guys, first I am running a 07 Puma w/250 Pro XS, 26 Fury.While running about 4800-5200 Rpms, the boat from time to time will feel like the rear end is slightly kicking to one side or the other and the Rpms will increase a couple hundreds at best, not much though. Keep in mind its not on the verge of wrecking or anything but it is noticeable. Any ideas?

Yea Sam, it gets my attention, but again its really not a BIG deal, but was just curious if others were having the same issue.

Mine also does it from time to time. I notice it more when the water is smooth. Does not seem to do it as much in a chop.

Hmm…Ive felt the same thing on my new boat as well as on my 06CougarFTD/225Opti. It doesnt seem to bother anything, but it is a funny feeling. I cant say that it every happened to me with my Baycat/250proxs though.

My 09 didnt do it but i seem to notice it a little in the 03 and i think i have fixed it maybe. i havent run it since. it had a transducer on back and it was to low to me and when the boat would get up on the pad all the way it would wiggle a little. i moved the transducer up some this might have solved it but i havent run it yet. But thats what my starrett straight edge told me to do. i noticed with mine the higher on the jack plate less it was there and lower the more i could feel it.

My 99 Classic did this until I replaced the steering system. I had about two inches of slack in the steering wheel.

Could often be a low motor height. That is hull transition as it gains body lift. Usually about 65 mph in those cases.
