2 ?'s about my '94 Capri 1750

[jeffyjeff]

Took it out for the second time this past weekend and had a few question's. <br /><br />1. Even when warm I would have to rev engine in 'throttle only position' sometime's to start it. It ran fine at full throttle but would die when going from slowest speed to full throttle. I would have to gradually speed up to get going.<br /><br />2. I would like to replace my prop for skiing and tubing. I have a 23p on there now and would like some advice on what pitch would work best for this. <br /><br />1994 Bayliner Capri 1750 3.0 liter Alpha One

Sounds like the carburator may need some attention. Possibly a good overhaul and cleaning.<br /><br />Also read here Complements of Don S<br /><br />A 21 pitch would probably do the job, and a 19 pitch should snatch someone right up. Just be careful because if your running at maximum recommended RPM's now with the 23 pitch your enging will over rev with a smaller prop if you run at WOT (wide open throttle).

I have a 1750 Caravelle 3.0L and a 3 blade 19p or a 4 blade 18P seems to give me 45-4600 WOT rpms with 2-3 adults and 3 kids. Pulls a tube good. I want to find a 4 blade 20p to try. A 21p with 2 adults runs good and a 23p is a little much for mine.
