Description:
|
After adding the permanent fuel tank in the rear, and the hard top, and some other changes, the Bayliner has a distinct tendency to porpoise when four adults are in the boat due to the extra weight being concentrated in the back half of the boat. It also tends to drag the swim step when trying to get on plane, which causes a considerable amount of water to be thrown against the side of the outboard motor cowl and bounce back into the boat. It also is taking much longer to get on plane.
The solution is to add Trim Tabs. Trim Tabs will lift the aft of the boat, help it get on plane faster, and eliminate porpoising by giving the bow more downward force.
I chose Smart Tabs brand trim tabs because they have a very good reputation when it comes to correcting bad handling in smaller boats.
The result is that the boat handles much better than before the Smart Tabs were installed. It gets on plane easily even with a full load, cruises level, and doesn't porpoise after hitting repeated wake waves. Even low speed "no wake" speeds were improved because the tabs eliminated low speed wander that is common with deep V hulls.
This is how the install went.
