Prop help...
 
22 Avanti, 454 bravo boat Should it spin in or out? Looking to get it up on the pad better.......

phragle 12-16-2014 11:39 PM

Spin in if your running peanut butter ports on the 454. If it's a passenger series head you want to spin out. You should already know this focker.............

My head is spinning

Phragle, Rattle Snake Jake was having an issue with his boat some years back. Swapping rotation did help, but not enough. In fact, it created a little too much bow lift. Having labbed props sent from various vendors did not work out so well.

My theory was that his props needed more ventilation, so I made one for him - with lots of direction from Dr Loof Lirpa - and it worked tremdously well.

As you know, he no longer has that single engine Formula, so you may want to contact him to see if you can borrow, and if works well, purchase it from him.

Here's a link to a pic of it. Warning: don't try to duplicate yourself as location, size, and # of ventilation holes are very critical !

Spin whatever direction Danny Sullivan did. Worked out well for him.

Doesn't it depend on if you're a right or left handed person? :Score-101010:

Denny Crane (representing Dr. Loof Lipra) advised me to have another rum drink. Alan and I are going to test that theroy .

Close but no cigar. It depends on which hemisphere you are in. You can determine this by flushing your toilet and seeing which way the water rotates.

The question is best answered by paying close attention to the tide charts and changing props accordingly.

Isnt it more whether coming or going??? You cant have "Red Right Return" Going !!!! Duh also, If youre trimmed up and Haulin azz if you let go of the steering wheel which way does it turn??? Have you even tested that yet????

Swap to a bravo 3. Problem solved. :drink:

In and out at the same time? Isn't that like crossing the streams? If you do go that route, just make sure you never take it over 88 mph.

In algebra, the angle of the dangle (x) is necessary to find (y), the heat of the meat, provided that the maxis of the axis (y=mx+b) and the gravity(grab-ity) of the cavity remains constant. This is how you determine pitch and rotation.

Quick2500 12-18-2014 12:18 PM

I was under the impression that dangle (x) and heat (y) were directly proportional and both affected as such by the cavity in question.

On Time 12-18-2014 12:20 PM

Yes they are, and proportional to pitch and rotation needs. All this is theoretical, however, and the best results are still determined by an old fashioned "trial run".

I slept with a Dangle (last name) who apparently knew the heat of the meat but miscalculated gravity on the placement of her cavity and we got hurt...a little.
