Due to Manatee zones we are required to go slow most everwhere. Slow is defined as completely off plane and with minimum or no wake. My problem is keeping the bow down for visibility. The bow of my boat is curved upwards an these slow speeds cause a problem. How can I get the bow down inexpensively. I am already shifting a couple of heavy trolling motor batteries to mid-ship?

When I'm in a no wake zone my boat is sitting flat in the water, bow not up or down. Do you have an O/B? Is it on straight tilt? What are you doing to make the bow come up?
