Give this a try.
Mine is the same. That's how the Express is. But, you might try adjusting the steering cables and fuel line so they are not directly in the spray. That may help some.
Short of welding or bolting on aluminum water guides or wings of some sort, we will have to deal with the spray. Be glad you are not in a muddy lake with a black motor like me. Water spots are a nightmare.
I've thought about drilling some holes and bolting on some aluminum extensions to tame the spray so the motor cowl doesn't get wet, but haven't done it yet. Something about drilling holes in a boat...
They may have found the answer. They installed a 115FXB which is an extra long shaft. It’s 5” to long. They are replacing it with an LB. hopefully this will do it. I’ll let you know. Someday. I have another break in to do.....Express hull?
Let me know how you fix it. Been gnawing on that one for years...
Thanks. I’m pretty much a rookie barge owner. Guess I don’t know what to expect. Performance is well under the yamaha charts for this rig. Unloaded it does 27 gps. Chart showed considerably higher mph with my prop. I expect that to improve some with the proper shaft length. Hopefully spray will too. I’ll follow up when I know.I used to have a gcw with a 200 and the spray was similar.
Is that like a “whale tail”.I had the same issue with my 22 SSL. I installed a cavitation plate and it helped with the spray along with the boat getting on plane faster.
Same principal, but looks totally different and is made out of stainless steel.Is that like a “whale tail”.
