Seeing the picture of Shawnee's transom with a glimpse of his motor reminded me that I needed to ask a question about adding a Permatrim.
My boat is hiding from the snow in a barn up in Maine. It's a 2520XL with a 250hp 4-stroke on a bracket. The local Yammi dealer has serviced and winterized it and will be splashing it in May. One of the items on their work list is to raise the motor on the bracket. The steering feels a bit heavy to me. You can't see the cavitation plate at any speed. The mechanic looked at it and said that he thinks it should come up one hole. I asked about going up two holes but they are concerned about cavitation. Hence my question about adding a Permatrim. Unfortunately launching and relaunching is an ordeal. I don't have a truck or trailer. No forklifts here. They have to take the boat to a ramp on a Brownell trailer to launch or move it to the yard and unload it from the Brownell to work on it. So it winds up costing a couple hundred bucks every time we go through the exercise.
I'm inclined to,follow their recommendation of raising the motor one hole. What will Permatrim do for me?
