trim issue

those who know the marshan 19 will also know that its a bow down type of ride unless trimmed out,now to me this is a pain in the arse as ime after a more natural bow up when running and would rather trim in to keep its nose down iff needed so my question is .....is there a trim correction plate available that goes between the motor and transom,kinda like a ally wedge of about 25mm to correct the motor mount to a more vertical plumb line rather than toe'd in that runs the bow down into the water ..its the only boat ive ever owned that has no bow lift at all unless trimmed out untill the rooster is like a fire tender pump

btw..ive got the nose 2" below and still has no bow lift plus the fuels in the back

bow heavy no...they have a funny bottom these things,the 1st 24" or so from the bottom of transom forward is about 2" higher than the true bottom but apart from that the hull is then straight

yup, bit of stainless threaded bar, do you not need to trim all the way in for holeshot though?? have you got a trim indicator? if not get one and mark on it where neutral trim is.

no bud...bloody thing digs in at the front and i instantly need to trim out when i nail it just to get the bow up,was looking at the centre line of my prop today and it is 25mm off level at prop end but when i trim it back to the 1st hole on saddle it brings it perfectly level with hull line,its as iff the transom rake is too steep
