Re: Wouter's PH18 Namibia

Thanx everyone! :D Paul, unfortunately we hooked into a few nice Tiger fish but were unable to land them. They can be tricky to land at times :lol: Almost forgot: after a few fishing days I realized I needed a tool holder, so made one out of carbon and mounted it on the console. Having used it now, ...

Re: Wouter's PH18 Namibia

Hi guys, Apologies for being away for so long, what a roller coaster it's been over the last 12 months or so. But I owe you some updates :-) I've done the trailer fenders in marine ply and covered them with FG, paint matched the boat so it looks cool and it just happens to be super functional as wel...

Re: Wouter's PH18 Namibia

Hi everyone. Thanx so much for the trim tab info on my last post. Some feedback: I fitted the hydrolic self leveling tabs from Nauticus and it makes a world of difference!! Hole shot has improved dramatically but I'm more impressed with the added stability and the fact that I can now drive straight ...

Re: Wouter's PH18 Namibia

Thank you guys for all the feedback! Much appreciated.

I'm pretty much sold on the trim tabs idea. :D

I've found a seller of the Nauticus trim tabs who's willing to courier to me, but not one for the Bennet's.

Any thoughts on the Nauticus self levelling trim tabs..?

Re: Wouter's PH18 Namibia

Hi Everyone. Spent the December holidays on the Zambezi river, had a blast and a good rest. Done a bunch of test runs with different props and motor heights, but I'm still porpoising when going dead straight, even at lower revs cruising. I started off by lifting the motor up from the previous positi...

Re: Wouter's PH18 Namibia

Maybe this pic will be better to understand the 'bracket'. I have a jackplate that is mounted to the transom, but want to make a piece that fits within the existing jackplate that I can just bolt on. The motor will then get bolted unto that piece. http://gallery.bateau2.com/albums/userpics/88301/nor...
