Small V thingy on transom
My 2016 40hp (BigFoot Ct) Party Barge 18dlx has a funky little V shaped thingy on the center of the engine transom mount.. Some folks say remove it.. What’s it for? What happens if I cut it off?
As of now my motor has to have full down trim otherwise I lose speed.. Will this adversely affect this? I’m ready with the hacksaw waiting on replies lol!

Re: Small V thingy on transom
I saw something on that one time but can't remember where, did find this... https://forums.iboats.com/forum/general ... -motor-pod... my 2017 18ft bass buggy has it,,, no perceived problems so it stays.. What I what to know is what the hell is that plastic black thing.. about the size of a cigarette pack.. zip tied to the front rail is???

Re: Small V thingy on transom
One of the guys at work bought a toon from Bass pro, not sure on model but I will try and remember to ask when I see him. Anyway he was having some issues with the prop losing grip and he told me the dealer cut an angled plate off the transom and it fixed everything. I never saw any pictures but I wonder if that's what he was talking about.

Re: Small V thingy on transom
if I ever run across the "v" thing info again I'll post here.. And maybe I'll take a pic of my black thingy.

I try and ask as many questions as I can before I execute a plan
Re: Small V thingy on transom
Wise man indeed... Haven't been posting here much but there are some older posts here that I participated in about removing the V and upgrading the ECM via Simon too...Peeweethepibstriper wrote: ↑Wed Jun 20, 2018 7:34 pmI try and ask as many questions as I can before I execute a plan
