I had bigger trim tabs welded on mine. Worked great. I prefer the 3 blade over the 2 blade on that motor. When you get bigger trim tabs you will be able to trim it up like it is supposed to run. You will get better performance

The GDSD is designed for balance. The three blade prop is smooth and has no vibration. When trimmed right it handles the mud and grass good. It is terrible if not trimmed right. It will not perform in the grass or muck as good as the other brands but it will be more comfortable to drive than most on long runs. I was pissed at mine at first in the grass until I worked on the trim etc. now I enjoy it. Ran well in thick grass today.

Yeah, that's him. He's a cop, right? Coco said that they're training a new dealer now that already has some kind of dealership. Watching some old school Hawaii 5-0 right now, but I have the name of the dealership in my truck. I'll get it in a few.

Yeah, Coco said that the dealer in Hernando is going out to LA for training soon. He told me to deal with him in the meantime. Chris in Inverness is still working with me and trying to help, so I don't know what's up.

Post Re: Motor Won't Stay Down
The reason your motor won't stay down is most likely due to an issue with your boat not the engine. As I told you several times to bring the boat and drop it off as with my schedule at times it is hard to meet and do an immediate repair or modification while you wait. You have spent more time trying to fix something yourself and complaining on here than it would have taken to drop it off and pick it back up by now. I was a dealer for over twenty years, and the reason I am no longer a dealer is because I no longer have a store front and normal business hours, you can call and ask Coco himself. As for the prop I told you several times to pick up the three blade I left it out for you to pick up at your convenience and trusted you to drop the money where we discussed which you can still do if you wish. And as you didn't mention in the post before you even talked to Coco I advised I might have to put larger tabs on drive, its not common to do but repairs the hopping out effect caused by your hull. My family and I for over twenty years have gone above and beyond in almost any instance to help out and repair issues with any product we sold or repaired, as with the case that this will most likely be. I am sure you would not complain that I missed a test run appt. to make sure a dirt bag that was arrested got convicted to keep him from breaking into your house so you can sleep better at night, I did text you to advise something came up and advised to drop it off; you would have had it back by now and running on the water instead of complaining on this post.
