I have 1544 alweld with 23 hp gdsd with two guys 24mph and 22 with 2 guys and gear and decoys.one man and gear 26mph

Sounds right for 23 GDSD....

Killin many ducks this year ???

My neighbor has a rabbit.

Does the boat have flotation?

yes it has the welded floor and open deck and extended casting deck and trolling motor boat weights 300 pounds go devil told me 22 mph is about max with one man but I have topped that but need to do something with the trim tabs I think with just me its wants to kick the motor out of the water

Probably need to adjut the tabs on the motor itself

bend the two tabs on the motor...cresent wrench and bend the ends up slightly up until you get it right..dont take much

Thanks guys I will move gas tank up to the front and my motor has almost 2 hours on it now from hunting the last few days

I have notice that my motor it tends to pull to one side while running will bending the trim tabs stop it from doing that any info will help

Get a heat torch and a big crescent wrench and look right over the prop and you'll see a piece of the frame that is bent to the left. Bend it to the right until it doesn't want to pull. This and the trim tabs are all addressed in the owners manual.

Don't bend torque tab till you have relocated gas to front left (port) side...

Also place next heaviest item in "sweet spot" to get desired effect by
load placement and experiment with seating location of heaviest passenger...

I run 2 gas tanks - burn fuel from the one closest to centerline first --- I am
220lbs and if I take another 220lb guy - he sits slightly left of center on my
bench seat - ice chest is the fine tuning - find the "sweet spot" by moving
it or your ammo bags trolling motor battery or whatever....

What say u:shock:

please one more time..dont think it went through lol

^^^lol lil fukers still going





i know i know...thats what she said

thanks for the help and I have my gas tank in the front of boat I will look into it more when I get back home and ROOTSUMN you said its in the book they gave me when I bought the motor thanks man I will look at it .

Weight definitely needs to be balanced between port and starboard. If not, it's always going to pull to one side or the other.

yes I did get both of those books and I did see something in there that do this if motor is wanting to pull one way r the other thanks man I have my gas tank on right side of the boat and If I am no mistaken that's what way it pulls

Just bend the skeg the opposite way bow of boat pulls
