Post PD trim question
I have a 36 PD on a gator tail boat. Everything runs great but since the transom angle is different from pro drive boats the motor does not trim all the way out of the water. Not a huge deal as most of it is out, but was wondering if there is anything I can do with shims or something To get it up out of the water. One good thing I can trim down and get good bite tho! :)

Thanks will give them a call. I guess a different roller let it trim more without maxing out?

It's just a bumper that causes the motor to start out at the bottom of the trim higher, thus letting it finish at the top higher.

Talked to KP today. Since its hydro trim there isnt any thing to do about it. Rollers were for the manual trim. Thanks for the replies.

Why would it matter if you have hydro?
