Never seen it before. Almost positive it was owner added. Could be someone liked to sit there, facing aft, with their feet on the tackle center,...
Running diesels that only make 2300 RPMS when they're supposed to make 2850 RPMS WOT is very bad for them. In my mind a 550 rpm loss of what the...
DID you have engine survey done??? If not I would do that first, 550 RPMS shy of WOT is A LOT. I would also try to do another seatrial, make...
That could be a purpose as well, since the edge of the trim tab can be quite sharp.
A lot of deep V inboard planing boats will do this if you totally cut power on one side in an instant and are at 80%. Keep in mind we were on...

It's an Ocean 43' sportfish. my guess is to keep fishing lines off of the tabs. With some owners it only takes losing fish to 1 thing for them...
Arneson drives are very strong (and very efficient) and you usually have few issues with the drives itself. Never a gear issue or anything like...
That would be my only guess.
They'll have to reprogram ALL of the settings in the joystick again, once you install the stern thruster. After spending 3 entire days off of the...
"Last call" is the name of that yacht. I think it was one of Westports first yachts.......or built by Westport. A friend of mine used to run it...
