I have a 1991 Johnson 88 SPL. The motor runs great but has no power trim. It is on a 19 foot Crestliner V-hull.
Here is the problem. I cant seem to get the motor adjusted correctly so that the boat plains out at WOT. It comes out of the water pretty well but then porpouses as it gains speed.....the problem only seems to get worse with increased speed. If I adjust the motor down, then it takes FOREVER to get on plane. (espescially with ANY load in the boat) I would like to install a power trim system on the motor but don't even know if that is possibe. Does anyone know if those motors can be retrofitted or would trim tabs help correct the problem. Thanks for the help!!
