Prop direction
 

'32 Fever, props currently spinning in. Anyone have theirs spinning out? Curious as to what the results are.

that a single step?
i spoke to someone at fountain and they said its preference i getting mixed info someone said teague says gives bowlift someone else tells me gives stern lift??????????????
i have non step 35 spinin out,, cant seem to find out what the way to go is..

My friend Mark, has a 94'
32 fever, 415's, with 25p Mirages turning out,
we noticed stop blocks on the K plane
rams that keep them from fully retracting,
we removed these, the boat will
ride on it's tail ( it doesn't need any
more bow lift :D )
Havent had a gps on it, speedo
reads 75, were gussing thats pretty
close though.
Handles fine too.

I'm with you Jonas, I don't know which way is best either and I'm too lazy to reverse them to try without knowing 1st!:rolleyes: I'm sure someone else has tried this before and can save us the trouble.

The Fountain factory says to run in with a step hull and out with a non-step hull.

I guess I am already at max efficiency then!:cool:

Talked with another 32 owner last week. Mentioned same condition I have. Damn boat doesn't like to back up both directions equally. Drives straight, using shifters to steer. Both his and mine spin inwards. I just assumed it was a trait of the Hydro props since my single engine 27' wouldn't turn 1 direction in reverse either. If the top end is only 1-3 mph gain, I think spinning out will work best if it makes manuevering around the docks that much better. I spend more time docking than running WOT.

Jeez, for the money I have spent to pick up a mph here or there I think I will gtive it a try for a "free" mph!

JUST SPOKE TO LOCAL FOUNTAIN DEALER AND HE SAYS TRY EM RUNNIN IN AS WILL MAKE BIG DIFF,, HE WOULD KNOW BEEN SELLING THESE FOR A WHILE!
GONNA TRY IT WILL LET U KNOW ON A NON STEP 35 SPININ 30 BRAVO 1S TO 5100 NOW. WE WILL SEE,,

I am sure results will vary between boats some boats will react more positively with the change, others wont know you did anything at all. One consistent change that all of my friends notice is that by turning them in the maneuverability around docks is diminished.

Just my .02
