That's what I have my dedicated torque wrench set at. I check them everytime I put in. Specially the left turning one that runs off the top gear.

Thanks GLH.

Rob, I did feel like the whole boat was out of the water more. I was pleased that it didn't feel like I was driving a real big boat. It was fun to drive. I really like the Hydromotives PX-5's more than the Herrings. Julie knows some stuff!!

I tried the 27 5 blades and it pushed my nose down. It doesnt make sence, but it did. Im still working with Julie to try different setups and havent ruled out the 5 blades, but my first impressions werent good with the 5 blades on my set up. I just didnt like the feel of them. Maybe Im old schooll also.

Once it gets here I'll see if Julie has a test plan, and see what they do, right now it has 26p 4 blade bravos, guess I'll spend a day testing and takin tools for swaps, I would love to find something that would help all of us, with some speed and manuvering, docking would be a dream then

Was this with your new Mesa motors Bob? would that have had anything to do with the dial in?

It was with the new motors. But I dont think the bow steering and stern lift I was expierencing had any thing to do with the new engines. I think it was the props. More testing will prove me right or wrong
