Not sure what CIG used for fuel senders but my Fountain had senders made by "Moeller".they were basic 240-33ohm senders , used in many applications. Automotive, marine, trucking, industrial, etc. I bought aftermarket replacements for 20 bucks each. Been 5 years since I installed them. No issues and pretty darn accurate.

Frickstyle, you still think you made the wrong choice?

So wait a minute. Are you trying to say your boat planed better with the right 4 blades than it did with 5 blades of the same diameter? Thats not possible. You are a liar, and need to stop listening to guys with real world experiance and start listening to internet theories. Please, lets keep things based on opinion and not fact. This is oso. Plus those drives, dinosaurs, they'll never work on a 38 Cig.. :party-smiley-004:

What are you doing with the old props? What size are they? No, I know I made the right choice, for the most part to handle the power ( I hope ). Plus with boxes, it should be a pretty stout / better handling setup than the Konrad setup.

From reading your threads about prop results, I was thinking 5-blade 32 pitch with that majoc .100" -.130" of cup for planing. That info right there is probably worth a few thousand $$$s in the wrong props.

Also, that first pic is my background now, motivation.

I wouldnt go to 5 blades right off the bat.

What ratio are your 5's? Where will the propshaft be relative to the bottom? You have a notched transom, plus ext boxes. You should be able to go pretty agressive with the setup, and add spacers if need be

Back when the V's were out. They could have been

1.12
1.18
1.25
1.31
1.32
1.33
1.40
1.44
1.49
1.50
1.57
1.62
1.68

Tell me again why the racers didnt like them? A drive that had so many possible gear ratio/prop combinations, as well as mounting options for different hulls. The option to space the drive down 3 inches, run props from 15'' diameter to 18'' diameter, straight cut net forged gears, 1.75 propshaft's, 1'' thick spur gears, heavy duty strong gimbals, extra large skegs for surface piercing applications. IMO, probably one of the most versatile, big power handling drives produced. The #6 is ultimately a stronger drive, but costly, and a pair of #6's arent gonna work on a 10 meter fountain, powerplay, etc. But, I guess some still think they are unworthy dinosaurs.

Will my bayliner run faster with an arneson or an alpha?
I had a local bracket drag racer build me a wicked motor and I want to show everyone what side of town I'm from!
