I have been battling this same issue.... The only way I get mine to work is, while underway once you have the boat up on plane at your desired speed, find the sweet spot while manually trimming up/down, once you're there press the up button on the active trim until you're in the middle (I think 3 bars up) then press the up and down buttons at the same time on the active trim until the lights stop blinking and it will lock in that sweet spot. thereafter it will work like it should and you can can increase or decrease the trim's sweet spot by pressing the active trim up or down a notch or two--this is why it's best to save the original position in the middle so you have room for adjustment as your boats load weight fluctuates (number of passengers, fuel increase/decrease, etc). Issue with my boat is every time I turn my batteries off I have to reset the Active Trim, which I highly doubt is how it's supposed to work. Trying to figure this one out now... Hope this helps!

Sounds like you've got the same prop and getting the same speeds I am. I still haven't gotten any advice from any other M65 owners as to what the preferred prop, pitch, etc is. I guess when I ding up my current prop I'll experiment some. Thanks for your response!

1st post here, I have a new M65 with the Verado 350--came from the factory with a 17 pitch prop--boat seems to hit max RPM's with no problem--speed tops out at 49 at 3600' elevation. I'm thinking about moving up to a 19 or possibly 21 pitch and am wondering what you guys are running?? Thanks in advance!

Update: I discovered the Saber tower built by Samson will work! It's expensive, but by the time you buy a cheaper universal tower and add a bimini to it, the Samson's price isn't that much different. Plus, you get a solid tower built to the exact specs of your boat, not a one size fits all that rattles and shakes.

I have an 07' FS 214 without a tower. I'm trying to figure out if there's a tower out there that will still allow me to use the factory bimini???? NOt sure if what I'm looking for even exists??? Any suggestions??? THanks!
