Problems with The Walleye Boards with Tattle Tale Flags

[Greenbay]

I Just purchased The Walleye Boards w/ Tattle Tale Flags and I am having a problem with them any suggestions are welcome. The boards are nose diving when we start into a turn with the boat. I have moved the adjustable weight on the bottom of the board with no luck. We are trolling around 1.5 to 1.8 mph. Distance from boat to boards varies from approx 60 ft to 110 ft. It is the boards that are on the outside of the turn that are nose diving so it is not just an inside or outside board, both of them on the one side will dive. This was on calm conditions pulling body baits, no weight. I have contacted the person I purchased them from and Church Tackle Co. they both are working with me to try and correct the problem, Church suggested that I cut the rear fin off of one of the boards to see if this fixes the problem. We have 6 of the original Mr. Walleye Boards that we have had for 6 years and have had no problems with them. I posted this in the General Discussion forum with not many responses so I figured I would give this forum a try. Any suggestions?????

I also had the same type of problems you're experiencing, but when I moved the weights back to the 2 or 2.5 setting, the problems disappeared. I also did another "modification" to them. I ran a single piece of duct tape behind the boards to "seal" the rear foam part. The intent was keeping the foam from breaking apart. Maybe sealing the back trapped some air in the back, making them a little more bouyant?? Wish I had more info to help.
