A few pics

Hi,

Thought it was about I contributed to this forum, given the help you very kindly offered when I was looking for a rib. Whilst this rib has been very good to me and has given me so much confidence albeit nearly throwing me out! I do have one question. the prop seems to give up grip very easily especially in tight turns, is this normal?

Nice boat.

Yeah, if you are trimmed up too far it will "let go". Your pics are actually quite a good help with the explanation - as you turn, the boat heels. Ribs even better at this vgame as you have a sponson to give you a bit more "lift assist" in a tuirn. Net result - the prop is lifted slightly closer to the surface..... Does it let go occasionally in big waves too?

I assume that engine is power trim - just trim in slightly if you are planning on turning a lot. May knock a touch of your top speed, but if you are turning a lot, top speed becomes a bit irrelevant anyway.

if it's a manual tilt, you need to make a decision about whether you prefer turning or straight line efficiency........
