HI there, just bought a 2006 EC with Triple Yanmars and can't seem to get it on the plane, have tried tabs and all settings below 3 on the drives. At 1750 RPM I should be doing above 20 knots but am doing 9.5. Any suggestions??

We did another run and noticed that the boost on the centre Diesel was zero and couldn't be pushed past 1950 Revs, the other two appeared fine. I would have thought two engines and a 500KG ballast with some output would have still pushed the boat at 15-18 knots but the boat just sat up with a huge rooster tail but going no where fast.. Will look at air and boost on the centre engine and see where we go from there..

Fibnally Fixed and you wouldn't believe it!!
So if any of you see water on the inlet side and your boat has been sitting for a while , pull it out and this may be the cause!!
