Re: 37 AT Prop Test Results
Ouch James!
BTW - I tried the "Throttle-Up" 30's that you had problems with. My engines run identical with them. Maybe the blade cupping works on my boat and not yours? |
Re: 37 AT Prop Test Results
bend the other one like that ,it might help in the turns :D:

Re: 37 AT Prop Test Results
I'm just trying to understand these results.
You went 87 @ 5800 with not new 30 Bravo four blades and 84 @ 5300 with 30 Maximus five blades. Then with 1" spacers you went 89 @ 5600 with new 30 Bravo four blades. So the spacers reduced slip and gave more speed even though there was more gearcase in the water. The five blades without the spacer also reduced slip but decreased speed, even though there was no more gearcase in the water. Does this mean the five blades had too much blade area for this application? Help us to understand these mysteries oh mighty Prop Gods! :( |

The 5 blades were 6 mph faster at 3000rpm than the 32's Going to have my 30's worked into 31's and should be the perfect setup. Any suggestion's?? Nordic Gary |
Re: 37 AT Prop Test Results
If you would work out some kind of test demo for me I would pay shipping and if they worked and would purchase them. I am a little scared of them, about hurting the drive????
I am good friends with Linster, I think you know him. Let me know, thanks James 804-539-3114 I spoke with Julie at Thottle Up(great help :D ) and she was the one that suggested the drive spacer, after running with the spacer the 30 bravos, my slip went from 24% to 14%. I am going to be running my old 30's this weekend to find out what they do. Will keep updated. |

Re: 37 AT Prop Test Results
Yea, I got the email, a little more than I wanted to spend, I have a complete third bravo as backup.
That truck is going to look great pulling the AT. Cant wait to see it. |
Re: 37 AT Prop Test Results
Damn James, that sucks. Are you going to put new lowers on or get those fixed?
I just read an email from one of our members. Hit something running across Broad Bay and took out his outdrive. :( |

After got back to the ramp and wiping down the boat, found this????? :eek: |
Re: 37 AT Prop Test Results

Re: 37 AT Prop Test Results
Nice wheels prick. :D :D :D
First I get an Active Thunder. Then Rich gets an Active Thunder. Then its mudflaps and accessories for the truck. Then I pick out nice wheels and tires, and Rich takes them from the shop I bought them from before I can figure out a way to get them to fit on my truck. I already know what I get to have that you will NEVER get to have, so we'll just see what is next. |
