Nose Cone
Was thinking about putting a nose cone on my drive. Just wondering what effect they have, do they work on a drive with the low water pickup? I have a 99 26ZX with a 540 running 5psi making roughly 750HP. Is this going to hurt me or is it going to help me?

What speed are you running?
|
Its running in the range of 85-90 depending on conditions
|
Anyone with any info on this?
|
It can help you a couple MPH. Some complain handling changes. I had one on my cat and liked it. And you can cut it out for low water pick up.
|
It will help, but if you run in a severely trimmed up position to
get your best top speed, It might cause handling issues.... |
When my 272 had my 950hp set up my boat ran 92ish light and 89 and change w/full tank of gas and 4 heavy passengers with my drive that had a well blended hydromotive nose cone. When I had to run my spare drive with no nose cone boat would only run 84-87 mph depending on the load so at the 85-90 mph range I think it makes a big difference, Smitty

I put a Hydramotive on my B1 on a Velocity 280 and I love it. It improved high speed handling dramatically even with lots of trim. I'm running mid 80's depending on prop. I can't say that I picked up any speed, I was doing too many things at once. But the handling improvement is certainly worth it.
