I think you're too high. Wait till you balance the weight before doing anything on the engines. Shower coming up from the cavitation plates.

Re: Woods Skoota 32DM
Anyone know why Yamaha lists WOT as a range 5000-6000?
Is it 6000?
Is it 6000?
Re: Woods Skoota 32DM
No. But massive, dual hull congrats on getting that thing wet! What an epic! Really impressed and happy for you, take a minute to bask while you sort out that rooster tail.
I have a yammy 115 on my bay boat which is maxing at about 5200, no idea why, but I noticed the range also. Maybe it's to make customer service easier. "That is well within spec, sir.........is there anything else?"
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

Congratulations on getting your boat in the water. That is a LOT of work...hard work. Well done - boat looks terrific. As other people have said, you'll get the problem fixed before too long.

Re: Woods Skoota 32DM
Congratulations on the splash!
That spray doesn't appear to be coming from the leg itself - appears to be coming from ahead of the motor!
Can you get someone to drive the boat while you hang over the back and take a look?

Re: Woods Skoota 32DM
It would be really nice for you to be in a skiff and be able to see the boat run from all angles and at different speeds.

Re: Woods Skoota 32DM
Is that a floatation effort or stability effort?
