    Death wobble at top speed

    Hi,
    My 36"Shockwave has a side to side wobble at top speed.
    Link to setup,http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...-esc-cap-temps
    Not sure what to do with it.
    Top speed boat is a little lose.
    Could it be the stock turn fins being to long and dragging and hooking on the water at
    If I turn the rudder a hair life or right it help some at top speed.

    Thanks for any info.

      Do you have any video of it doing that ?
      And are you running turn fins on your df ?

        Right turn fin trim tabs also have adjusted many different way but nothing if I come on to the throttle a little more gradually it seems less , sorry no video but it's pretty violent coming full throttle out of the hole

          Mine just runs smooth and than gets wobble and violent at the end of top speed.
          I put a 1lb dipsy at cg, I think it helped some.
          Going to take turn fins off and see what happens.
          And the stock rudder needs to be sharped to I think.

            trim tabs will help also try moving yours batts farther out from center, you should list all of you components and prop and take some pics to get a better idea

                if you raise the stinger, it should drop the hull in the water more, making it more stable, it will be slower though.
