Hey all!
New to the site and have a question about my Whaler. I've got a 1971 13 footer with a 28 hp johnson tiller. Need to find out the best trim setting for my boat.
On most boats I've had, the transom has pretty much been at 90 degrees to the hull. On the Whaler the engine hangs at a different angle ( 60 degrees ? ) My qustion is, should the trim pin be set so the engine hangs strait up and down relative to the hull, or is some other angle better. I was out today and the boat seemed to rock from nose to tail while up on plane. Thanks for the advise and I'm looking forward to your response!
