single application counter rotating problem

have problem with counter rotating motor kicking water back up on transom and into boat @ all speeds. motor and prop are left hand. 2003 250 hpdi.

sounds like you may have motor to low on transom?................................. i guess you have lh prop on motor not trying to be a smart ass just asking ........ hell i have done some strange things ........................none that i will probably own up too

[danshearls]

will test today. no matter how it was tilted or started, kicked up water @ all speeds onto transom and into boat. motor does push boat over 40 mph.

Who put the motor on the boat?
Is it set up properly?

[danshearls]

i put the motor on and it is the correct shaft link for the privateer boat. prop moves the boat forward but kicks quite a bit of water backwards up the transom.

i think the motor is to low in the water needs lifting up a bit maybe 2 holes

[danshearls]

thank you very much, i will try lifting it 2 holes. this forum is a life saver and money saver for me
