38" Top Gun question ???
I just purchased a 38' Top Gun with 750 Chief blower motors on Bravo XR's. From those of you who have experience with a Top gun, does it perform better with the props spinning IN or OUT? Thanks in advance for any help.

I think you're going to get the answer "IN" with the caveat that maneuverability around the docks suffers....
|
For the 1-2MPH you pick up on the top end if your lucky, its not worth the trouble on a pleasure boat.
|
Spin them out. Like mentioned before not worth the speed gain to loose docking and other handling control.
|
What size props you turning. , strait bottom or stepped. I also running 750s. Strait bottom wondering what you're setup is to get a baseline. From initial testing I'm leaning towns 32 labbed bravo ones. At 5800 ?might be a reach. I'm turning out
|
Rob, I also have a 1998, straight bottom, 750 Chiefs with B&M blowers, turning Bravo 26"s turning in @ 5100 rpm's. Looking to turn them out though for better handling.

Out.

Saturday I tested my 30 labbed bravos I had .. they were just completely reworked by brett ... got 5300 with motors completely tucked in . with trim tabs level with hull .. I'm guessing weather was ugly so called it quits . going to try my labbed 30 maximus props off my fountain . this week to gain a little more input . at this point its just trial an error . thanks for youre input ..

Temp gauges on those bravos would be a great idea!!
