Ughhhh. So my fuse panel left side power issue is back. I checked all batteries and water level looks good. When I came to the boat everything magically was on. Went out all day yesterday and worked like a champ. Came back this morning and the right side of the panel is out again..... fml.

I like to start simple:
Battery charger breaker on?
power cords connected and in good condition?
connection at boat good (check the connection On the backside too)?
Check charger operation / fuses
Battery switches on?

I have the same boat with the same issue I just bought it, and trim tabs aren’t working... so I’m your experience, the trim tabs were the culprit of your issue is this correct? I’m full of fuel, 200 gallons, two people in Boat.

Wow,  Carsnmorellc......I thought I was the only one dealing with a world of nightmare issues.   I am very sorry to read about your experience.  I did learn some interesting things that i was not aware of with the drive spacers.  I too will be checking this out.  What did you determine to be the ultimate fix to get you back planing out correctly?  Unless i skipped over a post it seemed like you went from would not plane to it did at 4900 and we have not heard anything else.  Can you provide a update.

My fix was all in my tabs and props.  Trim tabs did not work when I bought the boat, to be honest they still dont work... fixing that now.  But switched to 20P props by Hill Marine and it fixed everything.  24P props that came on the boat are most likely responsible for my outdrives going bad as well.

@CarsnmorellcIf your tabs didn't work then I can see why the boat would struggle to get on plane.  That would have put a lot of strain on the drives too.  IMO I don't think the prop pitch was as much the issue as the broken trim tabs.

Really glad to read this, great to see a good outcome

Ya props are there for intial bite and plane
only
way to fix the issue like Stodge said is properly working and adjusted tabs.
i mean if you are over propped I would say your main issue would be time
to plane but eventually it would get there.
specially with  no Load
