Thank you

[Vince Fantauzzi]

Just a note to thank all those folks who were kind enough to offer suggestions/advice regarding the problems I was having with my outrigger. I'm happy to report that by implementing a few of your suggestions, my hydro now planes without issues. I Turned the strut around (can't believe I never noticed that myself...duh!), I increased the gap between drive dog and strut to 1/4" and richened the mixture by 1 turn.

Thank you also to the folks providing this forum, as it is invaluable to newcomers to the hobby such as myself.

Usually you only need the thicof a dime to 1/8" gap maybe a little more if only a 3/16" cable on a 90, it should be 1/4".

My rig has a 1/4" shaft by 24" (including the prop stub).

If it is round cable you can cut a piece off with Dremal and cutoff wheel and make sure you clean and lube cable after your day at the pond. Lithiumgrease or install shaft oiler.
