In Topic: 180 Trim Plate Adjustment
16 August 2006 - 08:44 PM
I too have the problem of porpoising on my 2005 Challenger 180. My dealer installed manual trim plates on each side at no charge, and seemed to help when two people are in the boat, but haven't yet figured how to adjust for full load. Apparently a remote system is available (see: http://www.bennetttr...com/sd1800.htm)As far as I know, you can not adjust the ride plate on the C180, and the bounce seems to be a problem that we all have. Trim plates seem to be a must for these boats but from what I have been reading the C180 is a hard fit due to the small transom on the boat. The only way I can cotrol the bouncing is by limiting my speed, but I am keeping my eyes and ears open for a trim system that will work.
Come on I can't be the only one having this problem - any help would be greatly appreciatedIs there a way to adjust the trim plate on a 2005 180? The excessive bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce (you get the idea) is about to drive me nuts - between that and my wife asking me "is it supposed to do that"
every time it does it - I am ready to drive the boat into the rocks. What is everyone else doing? Help!!
Thanks,

Thanks
If anyone else has suggestions on adjustment, or have tried the electric system on the 180, your comments would be appreciated.
