Kook,
Do a search for "hook" in the T&Q section, or use my member number 601. That should bring up a few threads about it..
When I removed the hook, I took out a little at first, maybe two feet forward of the transom. It didnt seem to give me much, then I took all of the hook out and that is when I found it to be unpredictable in certain kinds of bumpy water... I then added some wedges to the bottom to put the hook back in, but not on the keel where the factory had put it. A year later I removed the wedges and replaced them with my own home made trim tabs, so I could put the hook back in when I was on the bumpy stuff, but on the river, no hook, go like hell!! If you want to you can email me and I will expand on this.. but the search should come up with some threads..
Good Luck.. remove slowly as the labels says!!
