Pure Energy

Got the chance to try a new prop this weekend. Motor is a 540, don't know HP but been estimated around 575. Got the boat with a 26 4 blade bravo1. Tried a 25 Hydromotive P-5 X5 Blade

I have not had a chance to compare WOT #s because I have an oil leak and not used to the boat yet, but here is what I got

bravo
3500 rpm 45 mph
5400 rpm 76-78

Hydro
3500 rpm 51 mph
5200 rpm 76 mph, had more left in it

I think I will be able to see 80 when I know how to run the boat better.

Pure Energy Whats Your Top Rpm Before Rev Limiter Kicks In ????

Pure Energy

The rev limiter is set @ 6200. This is a carbed 540 custom built, but not for me. It's power is made between 4200 and 5400 rpm. Not sure "where" max rpm is. I still need a lot more seat time!

6mph increase at cruise!!! Thats nice!

Thanks Tripps. Have you seen the engine on my thread?

If your power starts going down at 5400 then you should prop for 5400. What gear is in the drive 1.5 or 1.36? When I had my bravo setup my gear was 1.36 also with a 540 and spinning 5400 with a 26. Never tried other props.

I believe he's running a 1.5 lefty...

Zup, why do you guys run left hand props?
Jcap also runs a lefty...

Rumor has it the lefts are faster than the rights because it equalizes the mota torque. I purchased a right but it turned out to be a left. The price was rite so I couldnt *****.Althouigh now I should because props are very hard to find.
