27hp Backwater an absolute animal to drive
Talked with Jake and Arlon at Backwater. he said the motor should work fine on a tall transom boat.
BUT, that is not the case right now.
I tried adjusting the Cav plate, with no improvement in handling.
Prop doesn't want to stay in the water and keeps blowing out, speed is kinda low, not much push in shallow water.
Will be measuring prop this afternoon to see if its worn down.
Motor is on an aluminum 16x44 tin can hull, and bottom of hull is straight with no dents.
If prop checks out, is my only option to cut down the transom to 16"? If I do that, then I may not be able to spin the frame and put the prop into the boat.
I hear all the Backwater cheerleaders talking about how easy these are to drive, but NOT FOR ME!
