With our dingy on davits, and no big outboard, our boat seems to sit a little stern heavy. (Our fried eggs in the morning always slide to the stern.) Does anyone know if this is normal? I believe this is also true without the dingy. I plan on adding a little chain to the anchor locker, anyhow. I also know not to trim a boat from far astern or forward.
I also want to know the best way to determine proper trim while underway. It feels like I want to watch the boat from the outside, to find the trim, but can't think of a way to do this that doesn't include fast drones. 12-14 knots feels exceptionally comfortable, and we don't get a lot of spray in the dingy. How do I set the trim tabs?
I would like to be able to travel faster, but the dingy on davits concerns me. I already lifted it up a little, and will continue to work toward a solution.
