| Post subject: | Best way to drive remote steer prodrive in mud |
My first surface drive is a prodrive with remote steer. 1st Gen. 2048 mud hull. Trim is the old winch system. I’ll have always driven longtails and its a different world to me. Past few days where I have scouted for teal (and hunted this morning) I have run in water depths of 1 foot to 3 or so inches of water. Bottom is a mixture of silt and sand. It does ok when up on plane coming from deeper water; but when moving from a stopped position it will bite, move, and then no bite. I drop the trim all the way down and I turn the wheel back and forth and it will move it a little more. Sometimes it will bite, move, and then pop out (because of debris I’m sure). My thoughts are that if I had hydraulic trim, it would keep the prop grabbing mud/sand/clay/silt instead of popping out of the water. Everything is vastly different from the grab and go world of longtails. So any advice will be appreciated. |

Almost sounds like your cup is worn on your prop and not allowing it to bite when in step bro |

Pm me a pic of your prop if you can and I can tell you if that’s one of your issues |

Thanks for the advice. After some research, That’s what the problem is. However, I’m worried about my top end. My GPS speed with 2 guys, dog, 2 batteries, and no gear is around 18-19 in deep water with minimal chop. I’m usually running open water on lakes until I get to veggies or mud/clay/sand/goop. |

sounds like your prop is worn out. I have winch trim. switching to hyd trim will not make the motor stay down. it is coming up because the bottom is hard/debris. once you go through a few props you will discover what u can/can't do. sand is the devil. lol and... if you haven't switched your winch cable to synthetic rope yet, do it when that wire cable breaks. the synthetic rope last a lot longer. |

Thanks guys. Yeah sand is the devil, I went through a few props with my long tail. I’ll probably send it off after teal season to have the prop re-cupped and shaved. |
