 13hp backwater kit bogging downAny help would be awesome
Specs 15x38 flat bottom 420 predator w/ backwater kit and 9x5 prop Good cav plate angle Just finished a complete build And I really want to get this thing running good. When I drop the cav plate under surface the prop wants to dive down in the water initially. When it does the motor seems to big down and stall out. I dont know if the predator has a low oil sensor but after reading some similar threads I am going to check that tomorrow. Other than that I plan on talking with jake tomorrow to see if he has any advice. Any help would be awesome. Thanks guys.

Re: 13hp backwater kit bogging down That's about a 13 hp engine , try a 8x4 prop.

Re: 13hp backwater kit bogging down Yep comes with a 9x5. However, I am an idiot. I read another thread on here and instantly figured out my problem was the oil level sensor. I dropped itin the river today and it runs great. Just going to shim up the cav plate to get a little better ride.
