genesis help

[ocbra523601]

i bought a genesis from another member and it has a cc1518 hk180esc on 6s. The boat leans hard to the right up to 1/3 throttle and evens out, is this normal? Also anything over 1/2 throttle the boat wants to rock side to side (one sponson out of water then the other) if i try to keep in going in a straight line but if i let go of the wheel the boat will make a gradual right turn but will run smooth under wot any help would be great

What prop, and how deep are you running it?

[ocbra523601]

im running a x642 and the stuffing tube is about 1/8 above the bottom of the sponsons

[Rumdog]

Sounds good. FYI, 6s is a lot of rpm with a 1800kv motor. 5s would be better. Where is the cg in relation to the sponson transoms?

not sure what you are asking, where should i try to balance it at this is my first boat

You need to make sure your blades are very sharp. Might try raising the strut another 2mm at a time.

[Jeff Wohlt]

Also, make sure the hull has no hull deformations like teeters on a level surface. That is a blade with a bunch of pitch. You might want to go with a X442 or 445 and get off the 6 series. The hull is very narrow as well. Also make sure your rudder is very straight...plumb with the hull. Use a square on a bar counter and make a line then slide the boat hull up and see if the rudder is really true up and down.

ya , check rudder. u can try different props but mine runs BEST with X642 but you have a different motor. All about trial and error. Bbos set that boat up using mine as a template but with different power it could need adjusting. I know the strut was far up, try dropping it a little. If you havent yet, grease the flexshaft too.

i checked the rudder and it is straight, i ordered a x442, any other suggestions that i can try while im waiting for the prop to arrive?

Mine does exact same thing. If u figure it out let me know

[Make-a-Wake]

The Genesis will always lean under acceleration cuz its so narrow..............

[Mtwinste]

What about at top speed it sort of twists to the right when it porpoises. Like it's having a twisting force through the long Axis horizontally not bilaterally. It's a different twist then when accelerating which is clearly prop torque. I'm talking at wide open a different twist happens.
