Props inwards or outwards
 
Does anyone have any experience with props turning inward or outward on a 36' Outlaw with Speedmaster drives?

if i remember right, going in might be a 1mph increase. might be wrong though.

INWARDS = More stability
Outwards = Speed

need the speed , you better keep to flipping or you are trying to through off your Baha buddys. out= stable and bow lift .In = faster and transom lift. but try it both ways some like it better one way , and some like the other.

I have to agree with dock on this one. Typically on most applications, turning in will net a few extra mph, but stability will be compromised. Turning out is the safest way to run.

Think of it this way: Say your riding on your right chine momentarily after a wake or something. Your right drive is deep and the left drive is near the surface of the water. The right drive is more effective in creating prop torque and thrust at this point. If turning out, the right prop is spinning right(clockwise) and the torque will work to bring the boat back upright. Vice-versa for a left-handed scenario(riding on the left chine momentarily).

The opposite is true for turning in...When the boat is upset, riding on a chine, the prop will try to continue to lean the boat...Unstable.

After further reveiw, I agree with dockmech. For a moment I was sufering from a lack of knowledge. Some also refer to this as Dumb F#!k disease or in medical terms DFD.

at least you realized you were suffering from DFD and didnt go on b*tching about how it was faster that way on one boat and is faster on all because of one case.
