    POD ???? aaahhhh......
    Fantastic when they work, dogs whern they dont.
    Ovakil have just spent the last month working out a Haines560 with Yam130HP hanging off a pod with similar bum heavy problems.
    Found the answers 2days ago - she's a completly different rig now - sweet as.
    Happy to pass on what Ive learned if you wish to PM me with your contact details.
    Cheers, MalM

    I have an old coxcraft rumrunner 1989 and when trimming for wot I have found about second nothch from the bottom of the gfuage is good and I can still steer both ways. I trim until I can steer both left and right without too much effert, only have cable steer on the old girl and a 90hp johno and she will pull 60kl/hr with 2 adult and 100litres of fuel with the fishing gear.
