    cupped prop question

    And I'll go back to my original thought, that your within 200 rpm of max now what makes you think that if you get the extra 200 rpm at WOT will gain you anything at lower rpm with more weight?

    cupped prop question

    (making number up) So if you have 9 people on the toon and it's getting 2.5 MPG at 5500 rpm that is not relevant because you want to turn 6000 even if your getting 1.5 MPG There is a guy here on our lake with a 26 ft tri-toon with twin 450R's Don't know of a go fast on the lake that can catch him

    Repair of door latch

    Suggestions on how to repair the latch hole? Yes this is my Craparral where looks like they used a drill bit to cut the hole instead of a jig. Anyway the chrome latch piece is to low but raising it any means there is no place to screw in bottom screw @MikeSchinlaub

    Reading intently, but sure like to hear from who told you this. Marine motors are by far more sensitive than Auto?

    cupped prop question

    There is always a give take between max RPM achievable and max RPM performance increase. Gaining that last 200 RPM may not gain any speed because of the Torque curve. Max Torque starts to fall off as RPM increases past the Torque peek

    When I get a newer 8.2 with Gen 3 cool fuel I will be changing it over to older Gen 2 or even a Aeromotive (or other) with return to tank option and fix the Merc crud. Time to fix a bad design
