A quick trip to the lake LOL

Pitch and cup drive the bow into the water.

For speed and fuel use i like the drive at 90 degrees to the transom.

If bringing the drive past 90 pushes the bow over you have to much pitch.

In a boat that you can not adjust the angle of attack i would say you are dang close to the right prop.

Boats and props are a black art. Its not something that can just be easily taught.

When you punch the throttle dose the prop spin or dose the bow just come right up?

Although im not tuning fishing boats so.. it just finding the place where the boat feels and acts right.
