Looks nice. How did the install go and when will you be trying it out?
FYI, you may consider pulling the skeg guard off. Not all the time, but sometimes, if you do hit something, the skeg will break off at a bad spot (due to the skeg guard) and the lower unit will not be able to have a new skeg welded on.
This bugs me that they are still recommending the 5200. Don't get me wrong - it'll work, but it's the wrong application. There are better things out there. The problem is trying to remove it, if you would ever need to (damage, for example). This stuff is like super glue - it creates a bond that is stronger than the bond between the gelcoat and fiberglass. But, again, it will definitely work to seal water out.
Hi LawyerMan
In an earlier post you said that you would go with the 40lb actuators but I see from your pictures that you went with the 60lb version. You can tell because the 60lb version has the blue cable tie and the 40lb has the red cable tie around the top.
I assume you know that you have the 60lb actuators? Just wondering why you changed your mind because from my experience the 60lb could be too much for your boat? Does it push the bow down too much?
so did taking the foil off fix your problem?
It's probably just something you'll have to play with a bit to get it right. The smaller and lighter a boat is, the more effect tabs (of the same size) will have on it. I seem to remember helping a customer with a similar problem a while back. The fix was just as you are thinking - move one of the shocks in or out one hole and retry.
