Call John at Superboat. He might give you some setup info.

BTW, I don't think he is too crazy about those twin OB 24's.

Try reversing the prop rotation...if the props are spinning inwards try reversing them by spinning them outwards..

ran into a problem with the same scenario with 4 blade propellers..don't know what your power is you you may have ot swap lowers or? drives or if outboards the engines..
