Here is your answer😉

I run a Trophy 4 blade on my 250 and have never had this problem. I think you're trimming your motor too high.

what an ignorant comment. Some people fail to read when I state that I've ran that 4 blade for 4 years, and never had a problem until prop man repaired it. I have no issue whatsoever pushing on the trailer with the 3 blade. And once AGAIN, never had a single issue with the 4 blade until it was repaired this week. If you are that offended by my Ranger comment then I'm sorry... I'll consider a Ranger when it can get up on plane in a foot of water and still maintain mid 60s when needed/wanted.

Thank you folks that are giving me genuine replies.. grout, that's the only thing I can figure too.. i called him like I said and he claims the prop was set back to how it was originally.

I actually took video of my tests I did yesterday to show prop man.. I'd gladly put them on YouTube for you folks to see

Too high? Everyone is telling me to trim up as far as I can and see if that fixes it.

When I get the chance I'll post the vids I took yesterday and put a link here. I'm heading out of town to Port O Connor with it in a few hours

Heres some pics of the 2 props if helps with a visual

Also a pic of where I run the motor loading up. Jack plate on 5, trimmed up on the 2 cylinders

You do want the thrust pushing as close to parallel to the keel of the boat as possible. That way, you are pushing the hull up the bunks, not pushing the stern down onto the bunks, where it will lock down and not move up onto the trailer. I've had this occur with a bass boat, but didn't have the engine bogging down part.

Given there is no harm in trying, I suggest you put the trim where the propshaft is parallel with the keel of the boat. (I know this makes the prop draft a bit more, but you'll get the best forward thrust.) Next, run that jackplate up as high as necessary for it to clear the ramp. You should be able to get an idea of what this is with the boat sitting on the trailer. If the trim is level to the keel, will the jackplate get you out of danger of a prop strike? If so, try that setup for loading. One thing I'm also trying to do with this suggestion is get away from a sensor that trips into "limited RPM mode". Maybe the trim you end up using with the 4 blade is close enough that it tricks the motor into limiting RPM.

I love the bungee cord around your power pole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you don't have enough motor to load your boat, your power pole is broke buuuuuuuuuuuuuut your rig is better then a ranger!!!!!

i love this thread

Sounds like a venting issue to me. I had a Champion 202 that was the exact same way with a Trophy 4 blade.

I'd take a Majek over a Ranger every day of the week and then 3-4 times on a Sunday.

Its the new prop and the number of plugs in it or probably not in in your case.

My power pole works perfectly fine, I put a bungee cord on because I've heard of accidental deployment going down tthe road

And it has plenty of power.. I'll post a video when I get home. It's a prop issue!!!!!! You are ignorant as they come sir
