 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!

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

 Re: PD trim question
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.

 Re: PD trim question
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.

 Re: PD trim question
Why would it matter if you have hydro?
