Just getting started with my new to me 2015 21 SE with Yamaha 150. Don’t really have much experience here. I’m having a bit of a challenge consistently getting the boat on plane - looking for some very BASIC advice as to how others with same boat do it. I’ve only had the boat out a few times – when water is flat, no problem other times it seems bow just wants to go up, and up to the point where it’s doesn’t seem safe. Engine is trimmed all the way in. Assuming I don’t need trim tabs just to get on plane? What am I missing here?
Could be a mechanical issue – I plan on having a tech come out with me just to make sure (and check things over). When I brought the boat, the Yamaha tech told me prop might need a LITTLE work – but before I get into prop size engine height etc., just looking for basic advice from others with same boat. BTW, it’s just me and my wife on the boat and a full tank of gas. I’m about 180 – she’s about 130 (so she says) – she sits in front of the console on cooler.
Thanks!
