What are your slip #'s with the 30's labbed?

Re: Mirage conversion to ACCLERATOR
 

Russ, looks to be right around 15%, Thanks, Jeff

Re: Mirage conversion to ACCLERATOR
 

Do you remember what the slip #'s where before you had them labbed.

Re: Mirage conversion to ACCLERATOR
 

Russ, the slip was at 13% before and 14.7% after, Thanks, Jeff

Re: Mirage conversion to ACCLERATOR
 

Well got back yesterday and got a good chance to try out the prop....Good news and Bad news :rolleyes: Prop seemed to plane out better and low to midrange acceleration was better also. But the prop seemed to really lay down on the top end though my top speed was actually up (compared to the Mirage+ design) by just under 1mph. I was still down about 1.5mph from the Ballistic prop though...One note though was we left the pitch alone but with cleaning the prop up along with the lab and accelerator design I picked up a little too much Rpm's. I was pushing about 200 rpms' too much. I think this was why I felt the boat lay down on the top end.... Prop seemed to be sensitive to trim and I couldn't trim up past 3/8" of the way with out blow out. The prop did hold fairly well in the corners though. The Finish on the prop was excellent. I am in the process of putting things away from the trip and plan on getting ahold of Darin tonight or tommorow. I figure that maybe going up in pitch two inches might be the trick...Whats everyone else think? I will let everyone know what Darin reccomends....

Bad Habit , :) Thanks for posting I think the prop could use a little more cup in the right places :eek: This will pull the r'sssss dn 200 and let you trim higher also it should lift the boat even higher reducing drag ,resulting in more top end .send the prop in for adjustments when you can .Pitching the prop up would in my opinoin slow the boat down.Thanks again for the Business and we will call you when the prop arrives,make sure you put a copy of this in the box to help guide me upon arrival.Thanks Darin >Houston PROPELLER :)

Re: Mirage conversion to ACCLERATOR
 

Bad Habit, I think the rule of thumb here is 1" of pitch equals 200 rpm's +/- depending if your adding pitch or subtracting pitch, so going up 2" would be a reduction of 400 rpm's i don't know where you are at now, But probably adding some cup to the prop will get it to hold as you trim out, I know i had the some of the same issues as you( Read my post above) and darin was able to "Nail" my props right on as to what i relayed to him that was going on, I am sure he will make it right, Jeff

Re: Mirage conversion to ACCLERATOR
 

Darin: The thing about the pitch that concerned me was my old 21p Mirage (non +) ran the same speed as the accelerator but at way too low of rrrr's (4650). I figured that combined with the fact it felt like it laid down on the top end might mean more pitch was needed. Would the lack of cup cause this? Just wondering... But your Da-Man so If you say it will slow me down Im with you. Will ship the prop out probally Monday. I will Email the shipping info. Thanks for your time....
