Weve a brand new 24 ft tritoon w a new mercury 225 four stroke. Propped w a Enertia 3 blade 14.7 x 16P SS prop.
Runs out at 46 mph at 5800 rpms.
The engines mounted in 2nd hole.from top mount hole.
Cavitation plates lined up good w bottom of the transom. But we get tons of water spraying in rear deck area of boat and lots up on engine. Seems to be hitting ladder n yes its folded up. Also using a 50 ft rope for tubing the kids still get sprayed when u power up on throttle. Seems like an east fix but ive over thought the situation until im at a loss figuring it out. Afraid if i move motor dwn one ill get enough trim w Mercurys fine trim limit switch. Whatevers goin on isnt normal. Any ideas? We left lake yesterday and the motor was nasty on top where water had sprayed on it.the ladders mounted right about between right n middle tube. Wondering if i should move it directly behind outer tube. But that still doesnt fit tubers getting drowned by water.
