Hi
Got a 2 hours run yesterday with my Yorkshireman. All is fine except i'm not sure if a heavy Tug like mine is suppose to "tilt over" on sharp turns?
You can probably see it, when I turn at full speed then it seems like the boat is moving towards the uppesit side as I turn to boat to. (hard to explain)
I guess its because of the position of the batteries inside the boat and how closed they are positioned to the buttom of the hull. But its it normal for a tug to act like this? or is it tilting too much?
An other funny observation I made is that when I run the boat at full speed, then stern part of the deck is diving so much that water is shortly comming onto the deck. Maybe my boat is too fast?
