 Need some input *warning mudbuddy question inside* So I have a war eagle 1848 and just put on a 35hp mudbuddy. My question is, is it unusual to have to shim the motor up from the transom? I only put it in water once to see how it was positioned and ran before drilling the transom to mount it. I was getting a lot of splash back over the transom. I'm new to mud motors and am not sure where I had it trimmed to exactly but I did get in contact with mudbuddy and they confirmed I have a short transom hull and motor.
Should I wait to bolt it down? Maybe I just had it trimmed to low for the speed? Please give me some input. Thanks.

Re: Need some input *warning mudbuddy question inside* Looks a little low (belt housing) might have to shim up a little bit. Did you ever get it to plane out?

Re: Need some input *warning mudbuddy question inside* I'd go an inch at a time till it stops spraying you, your trim should be able to compensate for some of the issue you have going on there

Re: Need some input *warning mudbuddy question inside* if the motor is trimmed wrong it will slash back correct? but if you can trim it to where it doesn't then its good?

Re: Need some input *warning mudbuddy question inside* With you have a low transom I would be real careful not to sink it if u slow down to quick. I would try and build the transom up! On my last war eagle drop transom with just a 3 cylinder suk on the back I would take on water easy when slowed down and it didn't way nothing like a sd
