If you get caught in water like that someone did not check the weather.

Thanks for your comment, and we would agree in most situations. However, weather can be unpredictable, and wind and waves can crop up unexpectedly. We're big fans of being prepared.

0:18 ... Unless I misunderstood what you are saying doesn't keeping your motor trimmed down bring the down ? To keep the bow up you want to trim up.

Every boat handles differently depending on the size, design, and power of the boat. It's a good idea to experiment with what works best for your boat in more moderate conditions.
