HST Bounce Problem I
have an 88 Hydrosteam HST, I’m running a 96 Venom around 275hp
10inch jackplate with the bullet lined up even with the bottom of hull.
Problem is when its almost tweek, it wants to start bouncing and can’t
hold a steady speed. I’ve run choppers & a Hoss. Could the weight of
the engine be causing this problem? I’m stumped... Greg
Payton Greg, Lower
the motor 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch to carry the boat better. The boat will
run over 100 with the gearcase centerline below the bottom, but if it
cannot carry the boat, it will never happen. A good sign is if you have a
pretty good amount of steering torque on the wheel. Go lower until it is
only a minor pull and the boat will take a set and the rest will happen by
itself.
Please submit whatever questions you have to IHRTechTalk@yahoo.com. All questions and answers selected will be displayed on this page as they come in.
