There's no way that my 190 will porpoise-It never did with or without the stab plate. Like I said previously, if a bigger stabilizer would help all boats the outboard manufacturers would have redesigned their lower units long ago. Manufacturers of "stap plates" whether plastic or aluminum like BMS claim "most boats will run faster"-Not all. In this case, for whatever reason, mine doesn't. I will not change a perfectly pitched prop to make a BMS stab plate work. Honestly, it was a mistake to re-engineer Triumphs/Yamaha's design here and I'm not going to outthink myself. First I try reducing the size-It could work? if not, it comes off completely. Thanks for every ones suggestions. The sawzall is warming up
