Prop Rotation on a 35
 

We are fixing up a 1993 35 Fountain. And forgot which way the props were rotating. Either both turning in or out? Does any one know the proper way the should be setup. I know a 96 35 with a step turns in. Thanks

Hi Bobby,
I have a 2000 Lightning and the starboard drive turns left and the port drive turns right, so I guess you would say the both turn in. I think that is the fastest combination, if you have them going the other direction the boat is more manuverable for docking but not as fast.

I turn my 35 in, 99 single step, both with the Hydros and the Bravos. I would think even the non stepped hull would benefit from this. Some of the earlier designs came with the Mirage style props and I think they were turning out.

I have a 93 35' turning in, seems to give more it transom lift.:cool:

04 35 ex - bravo 1X 32 pitch bravo 1 4 blades - mine turn in from the factory

Re: Prop Rotation on a 35
 

Turn them in, like said it will be a lil more tricky around the docks but will give ya more speed on the run..

Re: Prop Rotation on a 35
 

I have mine turned in. Sucks around the dock, but a little more on top.

Re: Prop Rotation on a 35
 

I do more docking than a running WOT, so changed mine to turning out.
Figured if they were turning in, I'd just hit the docks faster. ;)

Re: Prop Rotation on a 35
 

Mine are turning out from the factory. I like the being able to get the boat in a slip. Worth a mph or two when you are already as slow as I am.

1993...............non-step, they all were turned out from the factory.

Who cares its not your boat anyway:evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Prop Rotation on a 35
 

Mine is a oo twin step an they turn out, called fountain and they said in 00 they turned out on the 35,87 on gps .I never seen a fountain turn out before, I am going to try turning in this year to see if there realy is a differance, I had a Velocity no step and they turned in and had no problem around dock and a 32 fountain stepped turning in and no problem.

thks Joe

Ok we will try it both ways. Thanks for the info guys.
And Beak Boater its my new pleasure boat. So the race boat will stay on the trailer more.

That could be a problem. Once you get used to the Fountain experience, you may not want to get back in the Formula. A little birdie told me that someone left the drain plugs in and it sat and filled up with water so deep in the bilge that you had to take a cutting torch to get the motor mounts out of the boat:evilb: :D :evilb:

Muffy said just remember that when you need him to do work on your boat:evilb: :evilb:
