what he said, plus never,,,,,,NEVER,,, use negative trim or have the tabs down when turning.
instead settle the boat by slightly lifting on the throttles, make sure you have positive trim and start your turn. then accelerate into the turn. these boats will spin. especially during turning. i must have delivered over 15 35's this year from single step to the new i.c.b.m . lovely machines. graet boats. feel em out. they ll tell you what there doing. |
that would be trimming down. On fountains, '3' is about neutral for drives and tabs. Don't go below 3 on either while in a turn. That can be very bad. I tend to keep everything at neutral in a turn.

remember wen turning with a stepped bottom boat be careful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! turn slow and dont stick the bow or u will swap ends!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats! You may have recalled the 38 Lightning in the Coty showroom when you bought the 35. I just bought the 38. I was having the same concerns as you regarding a new boat that has been sitting for two years. I would be interested in anything you found out on this issue. If you would like to email me directly at [email protected] .
