Mercury K-280S K-planes advice?
#1
After repowering my Adrenaline V-24 it is starting to chine walk mid 70s to low 80s. I can steer some of it out but in a 24' boat it needs to be stable at higher speeds..
Will longer trim tabs stop the chine walk?
Will 280S plates fit on my existing 150S mounts? Are 380S to long for a 24' boat?
Can you buy just the plates new?

I dont know your boat, so I cant say if they will stop the chine walk. Changed out the 150's to 280 plates on our Donzi 22' Blackhawk. Made it handle a lot better but it still chine walks between 70 and 80mph.

if you can find one to try put a sportmaster shortie on it and see what it does. I rigged that boat at Adrenaline and in testing I tried that drive and it picked up speed and felt great but we put the standard length bravo back on it as the sportmaster was a loaner and the boat was heading for magazine testing. we never wound up changing it to the shortie as we were busy with the V30's
