I just purchased a Sea Born FX25 with a 300 Yamaha. It has a PowerTech OFX 20P 15-1/4" dia prop. I am having a few issues.
#1 Motor will only turn 5000 RPMs with a normal load 52-53 with a light load.
#2 Motor wants to cavitate on semi hard turns and on take off if not ALL the way trimmed and "jacked" down. Boat has a jack plate and stepped hull.
#3 Hardly any bow rise at all. This isn't a big deal in calm seas but on the gulf coast we get very short wave intervals and rough conditions often. In certain situations I need to get the bow up and I simply cannot do it with this boat.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
