Dobers there are many,many better props than the omc,like walley asked and he only named some.<br />Went out fishing sunday morning by myself,livewells full ,full tank of gas,cool air fogg again,I only let it warm up a couple minutes,it jumped out out of the hole quick,couldnt get e wot i was in a river and first time been there.still shocks me how 1 person can have that kind affect,and cool air.going fishing wenesday afternoon ill see if it does any better with my partner and warmer air.thanksI disagree, respectfully..<br />This would be true if we have a set X-dimension.<br />If we have larger diameter, we can raise the engine, lowering drag, incresing RPM and speed with the correct prop.<br />I believe in max diameter and pitch as long as water pressure is good.<br />Sure, if we can't raise the engine to maximize the prop in use due to water pressure issues, we need to do something different. Lowering the engine isn't going to help hole-shot, unless we have a serious blow-out problem.<br /><br />And, Ron G., I still think if you can trim all the way, the engine is too low. If you have a prop that lifts as needed for that hull, you don't need or use all of the trim..in fact, beyond a certain point, you begin to lose efficiency.<br />I still think Dhadley hit the nail on the head with the prop design.<br />We might want to look into another design.
<br /><br />NOw this weekend took out dad and brother in law very big guys dads around 360 and brother in law around 330,holeshot was worse than with regular partner,but did better that i thought with that much weight,deciced to run her on up to wot got 5200-5300rpm at 53 mph now that confuses the H*LL otu of me because with my regular parter im only getting 5500 at 55Mph im really thinking i need a 3 blade 25?? keep the sugestions coming guys thanks.<br />wally that makes sence about the lift and raising the motor on up.
