Re: Can i take the fin off
doubt it helps you much on the pontoon. If you take it off and notice a drop in performance you can always bolt it back on.

Just leave the holes, they won't hurt anything.fod59 wrote:What do i do about the holes,leave them open or put the bolts back in them

Take it off. If your boat ventilates more or runs better with the fin, you can put it back on in 5 minutes.
I have always run one on my old Starcraft with a Yamaha 115 hp 2 stroke. I could really feel a difference since my motor's height was a little high. I really needed to drop the transom an inch or so.
