    Pulse VS Pulsare

    67MPH with Tempest Plus 25 and then the brand new hydraulic steering failed. (broke off ) :pissed::pissed::brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall: 1 1/2" to 2" below the Pad and I think 6000rpm... But as the steering broke can't be sure on the 6000rpm.....

    Pulse VS Pulsare

    it has been measured now: it is approx 3,5" below the pad (5" setback & Laser2 25") Any suggestions why this blowout occurs? Will be testing a 23" Vensura 4 blade, a 3 blade 25" Tempest plus or Trophy (not sure) and a 25" chopper this weekend. Hope that'll improve things.

    Pulse VS Pulsare

    the lower unit is not there this week as it is being resprayed this week :brickwall: as it turned "black" a little from all the testing done in the workshop. So can't measure it. Any advice on how far? Could it be I have got the engine to high?

    Info on Pulse 186 --> max power, best match?

    I've already done some digging around but haven't found a thread with a similar setup (yet) (that was why I'm asking) i don't mind the 90MPH :D as long as the boat keeps controllable and doesn't start trying funny things on me (and less funny). Also I would appreciate it if the transom stays in...

    Info on Pulse 186 --> max power, best match?

    was reading through many topics, starting to wonder if there are any props available for this (I am reading about 245's with 30p. choppers....) please advise..... Am I worried for nothing or is it too much?

    Info on Pulse 186 --> max power, best match?

    2.5EFI on pulse 186 I have been offered the following engine 0hrs rebuilded Merc 2.5efi 280, 1:1,87, offshore midsection, 300 drag pistons. Any idea if this amount of power works on a Pulse186 or that it simply is too much? (it's only 18,6ft..... (is it structurally strong enough :confused...
