That tells me there is no hook in it, but you should use something like a 4ft level to check it.

Do you have a bass boat? What kind of boat/ brand of boat do you have? This may help determine your problem.

Post a picture of the boat and order some bennett trim tabs.

i might try and adjust the height of the motor ...... if so does anyone have a good used jack plate? man or hydr. perferablly manual because it's cheaper!

Where does your cavitation plate sit in relation to the bottom of the boat? Use a straight edge to determine this. It should be slightly BELOW the hull (maybe 1/2 to 1 1/2 inches). If not, and you have room on your bracket, definately try dropping it down a hole!

Also, as strange as it sounds, the wrong prop (for example, too much "cup") can do some weird things to a boat's handling sometimes. You might want to call the guys at Accu-prop, and describe your problem. Let us know how you are making out!

OOPS...just saw where you said you have no bracket. Sorry. It would still be interesting to know where the cav. plate sits. A jack plate might be the answer, but kind of hard to tell w/limited info!

It could also be a condition called a Power Hook, If you have a soft bottom or a broken or rotton stringers, the more power you put to the boat the more prevelant the hook is.. causing the diving condition,, get off the gas and the power hook goes away,, this also cant be seen with a straight edge.. but you can lay under the boat and push on the hull to see if it is soft... this condition is most noticeable at heavy throttle and upper ends of the speed spectrum..:usaflag
