Maybe try the anit-cavitation plates on your Bravos? I had the same problem in my 35 Fountain when I went from standard Bravo lowers to -2s...and then AGAIN when I went to -3s and IMCO SCs. The anti-cav plates seemed to help a bit...but really, I ended up having to adjust my throttling technique. Now, when I leave the water, I BARELY pull back on the throttles...keeping the rpms high and REALLY "micro-managing" the sticks is what worked for me.

I've driven larger boats in some bigger water, and they were much more forgiving as far as throttle play. Perhaps its a function of getting used to a smaller hull?

Thanks I will have to try that! And I have driven smaller hulls and never had trouble and I also only pull back till the rpms stay about the same and I will be fine but I have always pulled all the way back and haven't had much trouble I was told that even keeping the rpms the same will still hurt the drives.
