How can I make my outboard wake bigger. Trim tabs and trim motor?

elmerfudd,
Trimming up the motor some definitely helps, but you'll need to experiment to find the best trim. Also, if you have a ski locker, add some weight in there. Since it's pretty much in the center of the boat it'll have a nice balance and won't affect the easiness of getting on plane. You can also add weight to the back with fat sacs or people.
There's not much to do so the wake will never be great, but it's still hella fun.

| yea what ive found is what Natman, said. we put about 250 pounds in the front and around 300 in the back. thats about the optimum with only a 115 on the back. well no i guess not. weve had a full boat, 8 people. and that was 8 big people but it was hard on the boat haha |
