Post subject:  Porpoising issues since engine rebuild

I recently rebuilt my 2009 gtr with a level 3 delta kit. I am running a 1854 excel swv with tall transom. Since the rebuild I cannot trim the motor to where the prop starts to breach before the nose starts to porpoise. I have a new prop on the way, but are there any other possible problems beyond prop possibly losing grip? Any help is appreciated

I'll try a adding a cooler or a buddy up front and run it and see if that helps.....

Where is your fuel tank and battery? Move those up front also. I was told the Excels for some reason need a auxiliary fuel pump when running performance carbs and the tank in the bow, did delta say anything to you along those lines

Not enough boat? So be careful with the fat chicks.

Has the 10 gal built in tank in the bow and have a lightweight marine battery in rear. My motor is the non-cdi with a cam driven mikuni fuel pump...jamie said it should be fine. I'm getting plenty of fuel been having to lean out the mix...plugs were a little blacker than I thought they should be. I also put the ignition timing advance key in over the weekend which seemed to help a little and finally got the new prop in today.

does it have a lip along the bottom of the transom. if it does, get a cresent wrench and bend it down a tad. that will stop the bouncing. if not, put a fat chick on the front deck.

No lip to the transom...going to try the new prop and ignition timing today if I don't get hung out for a complete double shift....if not I may opt for moderately sized twins on the bow for better side to side balance lol
