I see you do. I just realized my stb. tab wasn't working(solenoid gnd. wire off). That's why I was having such a hard time balancing. Let me ask you, I just went out again, and "set" both tabs even(without indicators) and it definately did the trick. Without tab, I was getting a lot of the notorious "24 List" in a quartering sea. But man, with just a little tab, she rocks and I have "no fear" about hitting just about anything from any direction. I still wanna add the indicators. Did you do yourself? Cable Lengths? Price(parts). Thanx

I had somebody install them. It's probably not that hard though. I'll have to check my paperwork for the lengths.

I have been wanting mech. indicators for a while now. Keeps getting push to the bottom of the list.
I told myself that I would not buy any more stuff until I finish installing the crap I have already purchased.
Still haven't installed the captain's call...

What Capt. Call do you have? Do you have the merc system? I have the Merc system and it's nothing but trouble. I think the systems with the electric selonoids are better.

Unhappy Re: new to forum

FASTXXX- I FEEL YOUR PAIN.
I'm just curious what your speed & rpm's were with the 23 Trophy? Which motor hole were you on? Are you sure your running on all SIX? I was running 5000rpm @ 60mph one day , shaking my head, to find a plug wire off. I would think that 300, should spin a 25 Trophy at 76mph (see WWW.SCREAM&FLY.COM article "Boger Test trophy. They ran a 24 Progression(silmilar weight to SB) 300promax with 25 Trophy, out of box & labbed) between 76-78mph @ 61-6300.
I need more prop for some odd reason. Running a solid 70 with the 26 Trophy, & East Coast set up 24 SB same motor as me with a 25 Trophy & it's running 72!!??
The setback will be beneficial, but it's not a cure. My 21 ran within 1 -2 mph over with the 12" setback than on the transom.
ZZup. is right. I would like to get my hands on a 27 Tempest to try for Top End. The hardest part I think for all of us is not having a stockroom of props available to just "try out".

You guys ever run 3 blade props?
On my boat, a Mirage + is 2mph faster (70) vs. a Bravo I (68). Both props labbed.
