Looking at the picture you have a Imco -2 or -1. Thanks for the picture. I think I need to lower my X. To get where you are. I am going to take a measurment from the notch.

I can drive (ballance) it on the pad, but should not have to.
Maybe Plumbers Crack will chime in, it was his boat. He might have some words of wisdom. I would like to know if he had simular issues, or used a different prop. Maybe someone changed things after he bought it.

Mine is a 2006. No notch in the transom. I just cant see how you would need to go any higher if you already have a -3. How big is the notch? Your drive is 3" below the bottom of the pad at neutral trim? yours must have been rigged differently for some reason. Plumber Crack would be the one to ask.

With this informantion and some more thought. the excessive trim sensitivity and stern lift would be caused by the drive being too low in the water, to much leverage. The farther from the bottom the more a response to trim and other factors.
Any sugestions besides a re glass on getting my X higher?
