KM:
Have you done any modifications to the GW 275 so that the water pick ups on the torpedo come out of the water?

 

[kmhitecman]

No most r boats r on lifts or dry stack. On the v8 350 u set trim limit with my lap top but still at high limit will not get noise cone out of water .

 

[kmhitecman]

what do u have f225 or f250

KM:
Am looking to buy a 275 with an F350. The torpedo tip and water pick up stay in the water. Many barnacles are in our harbor and foul the water pick up openings. I thought you might have a solution.

 

[kmhitecman]

no that is a downfall to yamaha daul waterpickup gearcase. unlike the black motor has us beat on high tilt out of water.
