Mr. Vanguard.... We would really like to help you.. But, You need to speak in a language in which we can understand. You sound like a drunk Hillbilly. Please explain your problem and we can assist.
FYI.. You do NOT need two batteries (unless you are always running Trolling Motor.)

Another thing that creates Plowing is a Hook in the bottom of your boat. What type of boat. Do you have any pictures?

were are you located? How old is the Boat? Did you run into anything recently? Did it ever run right? How big is your Fuel tank in the front? Why do you have 2 batteries?

I'm leanin toward hook in the hull also. Can you post a pic of the boat sitting on the trailer? Take pic from the side of the boat, showing trailer runners if possible. You could be ridin on the trailer wrong & that will cause the hook without you knowing it.

My super heavy boat is on plane and crusing at 3600 rpm. My prop is worn down. My boat is also a 17x48.
