    Air dams for sport hydro .

    Hi all i have a Forrester hydromite the hull is 16 inches in length 8 beam and a sponson depth of 5/8 of an inch deep powered by a 28x35 3500 kv outrunner on 3s spinning a x430 prop . At 3/4 throttle the hull blows of the water i have tried different strut depths and angles and different props years ago some one mentioned the use of air dams to keep the hydro planted in the water. From what i understand air dams are wooden blocks installed in the tunnel area. What depth of block would be required in relation to sponson depth ! At what distance would you install a air dam in relation to sponson transom ! What is the best way to secure the air dam to hull bottom with keeping in mind i may have to relocate it ! pictures would also be a great help . Regards Andris Golts.
