Left Hand Prop on a 27 Fever Questions
 

Well...I've got a "new to me" '94 27 Fever this year. It had a 23P Mirage Plus on it when I got it. I read on OSO that a LH prop should work better on my boat so I bought a LH 22P Hydro Quad. When I put it on my Bravo I, I thought I'd check it out for performance before switching the cable on the shifter. I expected the shift positions to be backwards, but they weren't. Of course this didn't show me much because I think the prop is still turning right which means I'm catching water on the back side of the prop...right? :grinser010:
Right now I'm the fastest backing boat on Texoma! :lolhit:
Question 1: How do I get my Bravo I to do a left rotation so I can use this prop?
Question 2: Do I have to disassemble the shifter to change the cable positions?
I know I can do this...I just need a little knowledge base from OSO. Thanks for any and all help...it's defiitely appreciated. Jim

The shifter should allow the cable to be reattached in the opposite side. Word of warning on rotating LH. I have seen boats snap shafts in Bravos from doing this very thing. The shafts take a set in one direction and now you are loading/twisting the shaft the other way. Can lead to failure.

are you having any other issues that would make you want a lefty prop , i use a 24 p bravo 1 prop rt hand and it works great i think . it is not the most top speed prop but it does everything well handle, hole shot ,stay on plane at low speeds so far so good .all i can say is that rt hand props work well for me .

Thanks Brad...so just moving the cable connection to the opposite side will cause the shaft to rotate left? Also...are there any shortcuts or tricks to moving the cable to the opposite side?
Thanks...jim

Hey Money455...the main reason for going lefty is to counteract the starboard list I'm getting with my mirage plus. I may have second thoughts after reading Brads reply about the busted shafts. Thanks for the input.

no problem really interested to hear how this works out for you , a few people have told me of that issue "listing" and i have never encountered it sad to say . just wanted to let you know that if things do not work left there have got to be other props to try to fix the right hand list !

oh by the way any pics of the boat i would like to see ,also what engine/displ. do you have and do you have a stepped hull , i ask cause i do not and i wonder what was the the year of the first stepped 27 . thanks

i thank the first year step in 27,s were 95.i have had left hand and right hand props on my fountain and the left hand are faster and ride w/no list.factory prop for a 94 27ft fever was a mach 1 stren-driver,lh24four blades.i have on mine now a 26lh bravo1.w/502 mag

94 step
 

i have a 94 with the first step believe it as a special order until mid 94 than became standard..

Ditto on BCFountain...I've never heard about the special order 94's before. Anyway, I put a pic of my 27 as my avatar. I don't know how to download pics yet. I've got a naturally aspirated, punched-out genVI 502. It runs pretty good and sounds better. I just bought a Stainless Marine exhaust to install this fall...don't want to miss any h2o this summer. It's already going too fast. later
