Also it didn't do it last year when I test drove it. Ill go out tomorrow for another test ride. Also with the motor level the plate is dead even with the keel.

Well I took it for another try foil off and raised 2 holes still does it just as bad. It's got to be from moving the lower mounting pin on the tilt/trim system.

Let's be clear.
Slick- are you referring to the trim rod position, not the engine bracket positon on the transom?

What holes are the bolts mounted in on the engine bracket?
This will tell us how high your engine is mounted.
See this diagram.

Phil- Yes its the trim position rod. I thought about moving it back but with the shape of the BW transom its better for the trim system to be mounted in the third hole. I can take a picture to show what I have done if it will help.
Joe- I tired the 1,2,3 holes on the engine bracket with the same result.

Take a picture with your engine in the down position. Be sure to take it from the side showing the cavitation plate on the motor in relation to the boats bottom of the transom please.
Upload the picture to your personal page.

The engine does not seem to be mounted high enough....
What hole is this mounted in on the bracket in the photo?

It's clear in the picture that your Cav plate (the bottom plate in the picture) is to low and while on a plane, would be under the waterline.
If your motor is mounted on the transom in the first hole, you'll need to raise your motor two holes on the transom. Ideally you want your motors Cav plate (when the motor is in the down position) to be locate about one inch higher than the bottom of the boat.
Hope this helps.

If you raise it up 2 holes, it will raise the motor 1 1/2 inches....
That should be just about right as Cliff mentions...
Your engine would then be mounted 2 holes up instead of all the way down.

He also said he was trying holes 1, 2, and 3...
but he was also using the "hydrofoil" at that time...
He has now taken that off... and obviously lowered the engine all the way down....

I see a transducer on the bottom of the transom....
Try removing the transducer temporarily and raising your engine 2 holes up...
If you still get too much spray, then go up all the way and try that.

I just made a blockoff plate the goes below the tilt trim motor. I think that should work.

I think you are complicating things.....
I suggest staying to the basics or you are going to be on your own as no one will be able to help you redesign the hull....

There seems to be some real confusion here. I suspect that the trim pin is all the way in because weight on the stern is causing proposing. This puts the AV plate at an angle to direct more spray back at the stern. Plus, as noted, the sending unit looks like it's mounted too low, which probably adds to the spray.
