Sounds good, but you need to trim that outdrive down to neutral or just slightly above neutral; or you are going to be pulling it all apart again to replace the U-joints or worse on your Bravo. That's why trimmed all the way up is called the "trailer position."
With a Bravo setup; the drive shaft is spinning as soon as your start the motor. The "clutch" and "shift" mechanism are in the top of the drive. You are putting a terrible bind on your U-joints; NOT good at all. When are you installing the hydraulic steering? Thanks for the tip, its not at full trailer. But i can see exactly what your talking about! And really appreciate the tip! I'm just looking at the different systems now. I do wish to go dual ram. Any suggestions? |
IMCO would be my first choice since Marine Machine is now semi-retired.

Make sure to go with dual ram full hydraulic to the helm and not just an add on system.

Congrats on getting your new engine done. I got mine done a couple months ago and its a great feeling. Now that I have the drive fixed we are back to running it. What prop are you running? 70 at 3000 is fast. I have bad slip at 3000-3800. I only get about 50-55 at 3500 with a 32p bravo. It really starts to hook up about 4000 and up.

I think i have the link to my prop in the first post. Its a hydromotive 30P I get high slip at 3000 if im nose down. Once i trim nose up it slingshots. Every haul is very different |

70mph/3000rpm/30p/assume 1.5 = -23% slip?
1.36=-12% how much sugar is in that koolaid? just sayin... |
You are 200% correct, very sorry it was 4000 rpm. Was not trying to pull one over on anyone. Just honest mistake
