I have a question about trimming my ASD-8s How far do you trim up when running full throttle? I'm running trips on a 50 Hustler
Thanks Ken

I wish that I was running them and could help you. Hows the boat coming along?

I have a 32 and she likes to be set at 0, or neutral. But I only have twins. I would give Rik a call @ 415 485 0788. I saw your girl at Lilly's and she is beautiful. I hope to see her tail, rooster that is, on the bay one day soon.

Any pics of the set up ? I am just wrapping up a 7M upgrade

My KAAMAS like neutral as well I have run it up alittle and the boat really does not gain or loose speed. I hope it helps ya!

Ok I did not think going past 0 would be wise.
below are a few photos. I did just have the paint altered and had AL's custom interior redo my cockpit. I will update photos soon. I’m still finishing all the small things like new sound system and 120MPH GPS Speedo:)

Very cool pics Ken. Looking good for sure. Keep us posted on your running numbers and settings.

I guess I should also ask about trim tabs. Do you keep them completly up and out of the way or do you use them to remove some lean at high speeds?

I have twin kaamas on a 30, they like 0, no positive or negative, just straight out the back. I have stops on my 280 k planes and they only go up high enough to be inline with the hull. I used them once and they are dangerous. I just leave them up almost all the time. If you drop one side to fast the boat will want to turn on you. My boat is pretty light, with a stripped cabin so that may be a different than yours.

Well she's in the water and every time I give it a good amount of throttle it goes all over the place. It feels like the back of the boat is lifting. I'm sure this has more to do with the props than the drives. I do have a call into Rik and Hering to try and find out what is going on.
