Driving thru chine walk
Got the boat ready mechanically for high speed. Got the ign tether and the life jacket. Now I need to learn how to balance the boat when it's up on the pad.
After some searching on the board I've picked up a few hints like: Watch the bow and steer to keep it straight with quick but small corrections. Don't trim up excessively. Avoid boat wakes and windy days. Try to balance the load in the boat. Drag the tabs slightly. Anything else? Thx! |
Pull the tabs all the way out trim the drive out until you lose speed tuck it back in a hair and drive it like a man.

Big slow left and right turns can really help just enough to load one side of the boat then when it's starts to chine do the other side. Also. What boat?

I've heard side-by-side BB's can make balancing on the pad a little trickier. |
Do you have hydraulic steering ?

Don't drive it past your ability watch the guy from loto drive it like a man went to hospital and junked his ride. Be safe. Btw if you still have cable steering be carful..
