I'm spinning out, 32 not labbed bravo 1's. What was your top speed and rpms with different props? Friend let me borrow 30 pitch not labbed and I lost 2-3 mph but easier to get up on plane.
|
I didn't go for top speed yet when I got the boat it had 1 inch spacers on it .I got some -2 imco lowers to put on it to run with the 6 blade herings .worked real good on my 47 fountain with - 3s .I heard that ts top guns with - 2s are hard to get on plane with 4 blade bravo ones.
|
They're hard to plane with 32's but 30's will jump right up. Did you notice any different handling by spinning in? When I called b blades to ask about prop work he reccemended spinning them in but I never tried. Most people say docking is much harder spinning in but sounds like it worked for you.
|
that is where I noticed the difference docking much better spinning in . first time I took out the boat at the ramp almost hit the boat besides me. when I put it in reverse the nose of the boat started turning hard to the left.i had always ran my fountains turning in and that never happened .the performance is what i'm worried about spinning them in.

I was running 87 @ 4900 RPM still slipping, I did not want to push the new engines any harder, plus the lake was slammed with boats. I am looking at different drives now as I do not know how long my xr's are going to like this new power.... |
SSM drives but I did not like the way the boat felt spinning in.

How many hours did you run spinning in? I put approx 11 hours this last weekend breaking new engines in, I tried the same thing ran 32 Bravo's spinning out lots of slip, ordered 30 Herring's yesterday.

I ran it for about one hour on sunday .pushed up to 80 at 4800 .still breaking in motors. you must have 1.35 gears to be 87 at 4900 with 32 bravo ones
