i dont think there is anything else for an IO. I dont think you can put a wedge on one and the trim tabs is the same as the trim thing on your engine

Try some Enzyte for natural wake enhancement. We know that Bob has the biggest wake around.

Trim tabs are different than trimming the outdrive. But they still won't help make the wake bigger.

There is a fin that you can buy at west marine or most marine shops that screws onto your outdrive and acts like more of a trim tab. I think one brand is called a dolphin tail. It will cost you 30-50 bucks and help you plane quicker and clean up your wake a bit. When my friend had an I/O we would tow with the trim and dolphin thing at about a quarter up. The tail helped A LOT.

I have an I/O, and use the Stingray , like the dolphin. It is a plate that mounts ont he outdrive. I use that with a 600 # fat sac in the bow walkway, and about 300 lbs in the ski locker, and occasionally another 350 lbs or so in the back.
I run the trim about 1/4 of the way up
