Aluminum is forgiving, that's why it won't bite and get you up on plane. Don't run over stuff.

Not quite sure what you mean, but I have been using aluminum props for over 35 years and have not had any problems. I personally know of three friends who had their motors damaged because of the rigidity of stainless props who were told by their mechanics that the damage would probably not happened if the were running aluminum props. They are now.

Their motors weren't damaged because of the rigidity of stainless, but because they ran over stuff. That's what I meant by "Don't run over stuff." You have a good point about the possibility of damaging a motor is greater with stainless, however, stainless is far superior performance wise...

hi i am new here. But i am glad to see that i am not along with the 210 cc nose down problem. I own a 2002 210cc with a honda 200 and i can t bring the nose up with the motor trim. Nose just raise a little bit than cavitation occur if i go further. I plan to install a dolphin fin but a not sure is gone to solve the problem.Any one with a solution??

to much of a lip at the rear of the hull (I believe it is called chine) can act like trim tabs and push the nose down. Have your dealer check to see that you have the right amount. I believe it can be adjusted if it is to much.

I have already sand off that duck tail under the hull .I run out of idear, i bought a dolphin but the purpuse of a dolphin is to raise the engine to plane faster.

Be Glad You Dont Have An '01 With An 85 Gal Fuel Tank And A 140 4s Hanging On The Rear!!!mine Squatted In The Water And It Wasnt Until I Got Trim Tabs That I Was Able To Get The Bow Down. I Run Almost Full Trim Down And The Tabs At 1/4 Down Just To See Water In Front Of The Boat.

Odd Seeing Anyone Having Problems Trimming Up The Bow---usually They Are Porpoising And Blowing Out The Props From Being Trimmed/riding Too Far Up In Attitude.

I just got my 215 and will be out tomowrrow hopefully if the grandbaby comes today...The wife said I can't go until the grandbaby arrives. I don't know how my 215 runs yet but my 170 was nose heavy and would bow stear something fierce in following seas. This was because of the trolling motor, deep cycle battery and ice chest up front. Weight distribution has a lot to do with your boat plowing throught the water. Another boat I had some years back a 19' glass boat was the complete oposite, I bolted on a 150 Merc that was twice the size of the original engine and I could not get the bow down at all. Mounted a bracket to set the motor back 2' and the attitude was perfect because of the change in weight distribution. I would look at stowing some gear towards the stern, put passengers in the rear seats etc... and remove any unnecessary weigth from up front and see how she does. Like Illogical said, he had the complete opposite situation and that was due to more weight at the stern. Try to iron out weight distribution and you'll notice a better ride.
