[QUOTE="TNDeerGuy, post: 1366113, member: 3702"] Couple of questions...what type of boat is it and on your jack plate where is the motor in relation to the plate(top/bottom/middle) As far as the whale tail, Mercury does not recommend those especially on the higher HP engine as it can adversly affect engine and RPM's. I had a severe chine-walk that at 65-70, I almost couldn't control the boat. I had the engine raised up on the jack plate near the top and then loosened the steering. What was happening was there was so much torque from the engine that the tightness in the steering was causing resistance and lead to alot of my problem and the prop was too far under the boat. The boat has almost no chine-walk unless I put pressure on the wheel against the torque. [/QUOTE]
