prop rotation
 

Does anyone know if fountain had props rotate outward on 35 in oo, a boat owner has props rotating out and says they have always been that way, I always thought they all rotaded inward

Fountain began to spin the props inward once they went to the step bottom hull design in 95. if the 2000 is spinning outward i would think that whoever had it before switched them to make it easier to dock and wasn't worried about losing the couple miles an hour topend.

Thanks for reply, thats what I thinking also, but was curios with 00 being first year of twin step if fountain was experimenting

Changed my '99 to spinning out. World of difference!

Re: prop rotation
 

try running them both ways and see what you like better.

Did spinning outward make it easier to dock or better at speed?

Re: prop rotation
 

spinning out will make it a lot easier to dock but you will lose top end speed. different feeling running at cruise speed, i guess a more solid feel might be the best way to describe it. i think because the props spinning out offer a wider drive force with a little less lift then when spinning in the drive wash is going against each other offering more lift to the hull. :eek:

My docking, in reverse particularly, improved 100x with them spinning out. I noticed no change in top end, and boat felt much more in control also. When spinning in, it felt very light and on the edge at times.

I changed my 98 35, to spin outward.
Did not seem to lose to much top end and could dock the boat with out looking like a IDIOT!!!! :D

spoke to fountain today, they said 35 2000 and newer all spin out, I don't think this is true because the magory I have seen spin in. I only thought becase Ist year of twin step they may have tried spinning them out.

thks for replies Joe
