With my last boat I could tell where I needed to be by the bow lift. So, do I need to trim down or up more to getting the steering to ease up a little?Loading the boat is another story….gotta work on getting the trailer in the water in the right place….wow!Thanks in advance,NoelIt appears you need more time in the boat. Is the boat brand new or previous owner? Jackplate? Most BCBs will have ample bow lift not requiring full trim. Are you at WOT when the steering torque is there. Most of the time when someone complains about steering torque, the jack plate is too high. Good luck. Previous owner but only had 6 hours on it. Slidemaster jackplate……and a quick measurement without a straight edge looks like about 3 3/4″ or 4″ up. 25P Fury.Last edited by nspanntx on July 20th, 2011, 3:12 am, edited 1 time in total.
