    Can I get some opinions on this prop?

    So what prop/pitch do you guys think was stock on this boat and why?

    Can I get some opinions on this prop?

    Why do you say that? What I am finding online is telling me 5500 should be the max RPM.

    Can I get some opinions on this prop?

    I am running a 19P right now and I am not happy with the production I am getting. At 5500 RPMs I am running about 45 MPH, which I dont feel is right. My boat is topping out at 55 MPH, but to get there the tach running off the gauge over 7000 RPMs. So I know there may be a tach issue as well...

    Performance Tips For Dummies!

    Maximum RPM at WOT? So I am finding online that my max RPM should be in the 5500 range. I was having some issues with my boat and just replace the stator, trigger and two power packs. Took the boat out this weekend and I notice that when I get it up on plane by putting it in WOT that I...

    Engine surging at idle

    Well it may seem that you are right Chris. I was able to use the boat fine all year and recently it got worse. I had a tech come out and he found I was only getting spark to two cylinders while under 1500 RPM's. He told me there are two side to the stator. Low and high side. My low side is...

    Check out the varnish in my fuel line!

    Got my new fuel line in and installed a water separating fuel filter. Made a big difference on top end, I looked down at the tach while doing my chine walk and the needle was past the 6000 rpm mark which is the max on the tach. I backed off pretty quick as I read somewhere the max rpm for my...

    Fuel tank - Vent or not to Vent?

    Either I am dreaming or someone was stealing my fuel. I pulled the rear seat while the tank is full and cannot find a leak. Have had a full tank since Wednesday and I have not lost any.

    Fuel tank - Vent or not to Vent?
