prop rotation in or out on cats
 

Just curious what rake props and rotation most are running on cats.

On my 35 motion turning in

out for speed, in for handling. 16 or 18 on rake

+1

whats different with the handing? I always hears that out is better in rough water.

It all depends on the boat, type of drives... Lots of variables.. As Ron said 16-18 degree rake but the diameter depends on the boat.. It's sort of a loaded question

Average would be 18 turning in. Lower rake will generally lift transom and higher rake allows more bowdise . In most cases turning out will give more transom lift(think about water coming off the deadrise of fhe sponson with outward rotation. The blade moving downward will contact the water much sooner in the stroke than if turning inward.) Of course there are many other variables.

Just switched to out ( 36 NT), picked up 8 MPH and handles good. when turning in it felt like it was picking the back of the boat up to much....18 rake.

I am getting close on completing a 36 Nortech 800hp .trying to pick props and set-up. In or out. Thanks for the input.

Lol just messing with you PD!

So out picks up the transom?

It's good to know I will forever be in your head!! Lol

And it's precision

Gee wiz get it right darn it! :)

Yes, in a perfect world it's nice if you can try several set ups and then buy your props.
