Question.....
Need some input guys. I have a 2000 29 Outlaw. 454 mpi's with labbed 24p props. Last year I was running 72 gps. Had one of the drives replaced and now run 69. The rpms seem to be about 200 less. Same drive ratio at 1.5. I was getting about 4800-4900 on the tach now I get 4600-4700. I put my labbed 26's on and run 4500-4600 at almost the exact same speed as the 24's. Any thooughts? Thanks.
Also, any thoughts of taking 4 blades off and putting a 25p 3 blade?

I have a 2001 302 with same engines and dives I turn 24 4's at 4900 with no trim on the drive and 5100 with full trim. I am running about 68 GPS so your speed may be about right for the rpm but where you lost 200 rpm I have no idea. Fuel, water conditions, temp, load ect may have something to do with the loss.

Re: Question.....
Yes they are mags. Adjusted the drive stops. Looking at the drives they didn't seem to be even. Brought rpms up a little with the 26's on. Seemed to run better then before with trim at about 1/4. Going to put 24's on Friday and see how it goes. Maybe that's all the problem was. Any tricks to adjusting the drives or just trial and error?
