Author	Topic:   "hook" in hull
compounder	posted 08-04-2000 08:23 PM ET (US)         Top speed of my Montauk/115 Evinrude has dropped over the recent few months and I have yet to find a reason, except for the age and use on the 115. A friend suggested that I might have a "hook" at the stern because of several years of improper storage on a trailer. How do I tell if I have a "hook?" Will a straight edge placed along the bottom of the hull tell me anything? Any other ways this "hook" might affect performance? Thanks.

The stern roller is usually the cause -pushes up the bottom - but the center one can also ruin a hull--- Is your engine still running at the same WOT revs or have you experienced a drop in revs?
