I've got the same boat.....and the same problem.

Re: 35x please help
 

You have 16% with 1.65 gears and 23% with 1.50 gears. Either way your slip is to high. What year is your boat?

Mines an 2005. I was wondering if labbing,repitching
the props would help.I dont think 496's
will push 5 blades. Any other suggestions?

Re: 35x please help
 

Mine is a '05. I also tried lab 32pitch props today with no improvement. I don't think any cup was added. My dealer called Fountain to get some direction. I'll keep you updated.

Re: 35x please help
 

You would think Fountain knows this. Everyone I've
talked to with a late model X has the same problem.
Maybe the 32 bravo is the best they could come up with.

Re: 35x please help
 

It is very possible that your drives are mounted to high and this is causing the increased slip numbers. Drive spacers should help your situations.

I have found some 34 pitch props. Going to run the boat light this weekend if the rain stops.
