| Post subject: | Charger SK Chine Walk |
So I had the Charger out on the lake yesterday, and as I got it up to speed it started to do a pretty good chine walk on me. I've experienced it before, but this time I tried something I read about online to try to correct it, I pulsed the wheel to the left while the boat was dipping to starboard it and it worked, briefly. The water had a small chop and there was a little wind but all in all pretty smooth. It seems to do it only around 70 and up, otherwise it feels super solid. The boat has a 200 Merc black max on a manual CMC jack plate running a 25p laser 2 stainless prop, and I guess my questions are is there something wrong with the height setup of the jack plate, are these hulls prone to chine walking, or is there anything else I can do to help stop/prevent the boat from doing this so I can keep my shorts clean and enjoy this thing at 75+ |

Balance, setup and seat time...... |

Experience (seat time) is the only real cure. My SS 'Winder is horrendous for chine walk, anything over 55 mph is just hairy. That's one of the main reasons I bought my SK. I found on the Winder that raising the motor did help some, but it's still a crazy boat to drive. My SK only gets to 60 so far (140 Evi Looper), and I have a power jack on it. Raising the motor on it brings in a whole bunch of torque steer. I haven't hit chine walk with it yet, still looking for more power. C'mon up and run my Winder for a day. It'll teach you all you don't want to know about the "pucker factor", and you'll go home and hug the SK. |

lots of things to consider, but seat time can't be understated. Give it a few weeks and few changes of underpants, and you'll be getting the hang of it. Howz your steering? Is it loose? That would be the first thing I would check. If its loose - it will be a scary experience for sure. |
