Question for 36 outlaw owners
 

Where do you trim to on your trim indicators to get the max speed. I seem to have to trim WAY too much.

Re: Question for 36 outlaw owners
 

What's Way To Much? I Trim At 5 Or 6 If You Have The Deeper X You Will Have To Trim Some Were Off The
Meter.

Did You Find A Set Of 28 Pitch Props To Try Yet??

Re: Question for 36 outlaw owners
 

Im trimming to 9+ off the meter! after 8 or so, i feel a little vibration like im trimming it too much. it never blows out and still increases, i just dont want anything to break!

The 28's are in. might try em this weekend.

I seem to be best around 7, much more and I start getting air

Re: Question for 36 outlaw owners
 

IF YOU WANT TO SELL THE 26'S I HAVE SOMEONE THAT WANTS THEM.

Bajarunner,

I have found that with my 4 blades on a 1999 with the " deep X" that I do not need as much trim as I did with the previous 3 blades. General cruising the best setting is at "neutral" plus or minus approx. a half pin on the guage. As far as for top speed goes around 6 to 7 for the way I am set up.

If you are feeling vibration that is a sure sign that you have over trimmed. Bump it back done a tad.

Best bet is to experiment with a GPS and your particular set up to see what is best for you.

The 36 DOES require a lot of trim.

I would not compare the trim indicator numbers too much because every boat is just a little different. You can adjust the actuators on the trim cylinders which will result in different readings.

We had problems with the stock set up and I went with an after market unit and I'm still not too pleased with it. If I had it to do over I would have bought the complete setup from Stainless Marine that reads off the top of the drive.

But I do have to bury the indicators (lots of trim) to get her rolling!

Re: Question for 36 outlaw owners
 

Im wondering if i need more cup. my current props have almost none. im wondering if im compensating for the lack of cup.

Re: Question for 36 outlaw owners
 

I would call Julie or Matt at Throttle up and work out the prop with them.

Make sure you have some good hard numbers as for speed, RPM, etc and that along with the type and size of the boat will tell them what they need to get you dialed in.

I did try a set of 28's last year that they labbed for a stepped hull boat with no cup and WOW, the slip was off the charts.

You do need some cup on your setup. But too much will show you down and will also be hard on your drives, especially when you launch and re-enter.

Good luck

What Prop Do You Have On Know??

Re: Question for 36 outlaw owners
 

The 26's I got from you.

Re: Question for 36 outlaw owners
 

Well If You Add More Cup That Will Drop Your Rpm.

Re: Question for 36 outlaw owners
 

most times yes, but if i have too much wetted surface, and cant get the boat up out of the water (too much trim still doesnt help) i might not loose much if i truely can get the boat out of the water more. i guess the best way is to try my 28's (with cup) and see what the boat does. Im hoping i can lab them and get in the 5400 range.

Re: Question for 36 outlaw owners
 

Damn, its too nice of a day. Im out to Lake Travis. 80+ degrees outside with some 28p bravo 1's waiting. :D :D

Ill report back tomorrow on how they did.

Re: Question for 36 outlaw owners
 

Is there still water in Travis? I hear it's WAY down.

Re: Question for 36 outlaw owners
 

PLEASE TELL THE RESULTS!!!!!!!
IF THE 28'S DON'T WORK I HAVE SOMEONE TO BUY THOSE
TO.

Re: Question for 36 outlaw owners
 

I got out there and forgot the prop wrench :(

I had already switched the 26's to out, and i actually picked up rpms. i lost 1 mph top end. 5600 rpms at 73.

Re: Question for 36 outlaw owners
 

Well got the 28's out, and MAN did it kill performance!!

The most I could get out of it was 4600 rpms at 68mph.

Previously I ran the labbed 26's at 5600 @ 74.

the 28's are stock and the 26's are labbed. From 26's to 28's i should drop about 400 rpms, then the 26's are labbed, so i should lose another 300. which would put me around 4900. but i figure this knocked me out of my horsepower band and killed performance. midrange sucked bad, and it took it a lot longer to get to WOT.

I dont know what the next step is. Ill probably load the boat up with a bunch of people and fuel and see where it spins to.

I also have a pair of 3 blades i want to try. Ive got the lower "x" so its worth a shot for a little on the top.

Re: Question for 36 outlaw owners
 

The one thing i noticed though was my prop slipped dropped into a pretty good range. if i could only figure out how to do that with the 26's ill get those last couple of mph.
