1.36 drive help
Just found out I have 1.36 drive ratios on a pair of XZ ‘s. The problem is the boat, a 28’ Pantera, used to go 94MPH now it’s got 377 small blocks getting 4400 RPM with Bravo 1 22” props. Is it crazy to go down to a 19” prop( four blade) ? I guess it would help to go three blade to help get the RPM’s up , but on a heavy hull I always heard four blades work best. Any opinions??

Sell them and buy a pair with 1.65 ratios. Slowing down the propeller speed is generally more efficient.

swap gears,its not that hard, sell me the 136s
|
Change the gears. You might find a pair you could swap and pay for labor only.
|
When you say swap gears does that mean upper and lower... or just the lower unit? Can you buy gears only and keep the current housings you have?
