Wait...let me print this. I'll have it laminated and glue it to the seat.

Just keep running it as is and don't worry. After a time, you will become
accustomed to the spray, spray will become normal and problem of "weird
transom spray" is solved. Evolution at it's finest

We interrupt the political programming to bring you a boat question.

My 14' Lund aluminum yacht has been exhibiting some odd behavior at the
transom, and the last foot of the sides. Lots of spray. I've seen
transom
spray when the motor's been dragging a large clump of weeds, and spray
from
the sides when the boat's obviously (but rarely) overloaded. Now, I'm
seeing
a combination of both. Absolutely NOTHING about the boat has been
changed,
at least not by me. No accessories added or moved, and the motor hasn't
banged against any obstructions, and its angle has not been adjusted in
years. There is no bilge, so I'm positive it's not a matter of collected
water.

The boat's bottom has two strakes, about 8" out from the keel. The keel
&
strakes are in perfect condition - no dents, all rivets are tight and
there's no debris snagged between the hull and the metal strips. There's
an
aluminum spray strip along each side, also in perfect condition. The
problem
seems the same whether the gas tank is full or near empty, which I
mention
in case anyone's still wondering about weight issues.

If the hull had somehow become misshapen, perhaps by the trailer bunks,
it
seems it would be obvious, but perhaps not. How small a change to hull
shape
cause this type of thing?
