Seems to me that the point where things start changing and slowing down between the two is the very same point at which the boat would normally climb onto a plane. Maybe it just can't (or barely) get on plane with 7 people aboard? Would also explain the prop slip, too. Just a thought.

I grew up in Charleston and spent many, many thousands of hours in and around Edisto. Fond memories from there. I am jealous. I am 30mi down river from Washington now and will certainly keep an eye out. Best Regards, Ray

The failure mode you describe with your shore power is typical of a salt-water environment connection. What usually happens is that the blades on the connector get some corrosion on them and the contact resistance increases. Over time, this resistance increases more and more which generates...

Load Rite or Venture? Opinions?

Hi Rod, Thank you for your kind words. Yes, that was my Nimble Kodiak, Seaweed. We are now on to a new boating chapter in our lives. You are too good! :) :) Very Best Regards, Ray
