Props spinning in or out

endeavor1 · 04-13-2009, 06:16 PM

Just curious as to which direction most of the Black Thunders are spinning their props. I understand the IN/OUT dilemma but just seein which works best on these particular boats. Thanks

The props should be spinning OUT .

Spinning in gives you nothing but stern lift and you loose almost all your docking abilities.

BT's do not normally need stern lift. Hulls do the work very well of lifting the stern. Mine are spinning out.

Thanks guys, just wasnt sure, had staggered stepped fountains before this boat and the props always turned in. Is there a bunch of Black Thunders running BMAXs? Bob Jenkins has told me to leave them on the boat as he knows that more HP will be coming for me soon.... lol They just seem like overkill

Well i have done both with the BT and in is nothing but a cluster f,

side by side engine configurations on 46's BT's need them spinning out. It's easier to dock, and they are more stable. Spinning out also creates transom lift which the BT's actually need. And if you haven't had any issues with the Bmaxes, keep them on!

Saxman which way are you with the staggered setup?

Watch out smacking the throttle to quick, stuff goes boom really fast.
