Props
Can someone send me in the right direction on setting up the best props for my Sutphen.
many thanks! |
The first thing you need to do is give some info about the boat, power, drives, gear ratio, etc. and if you have any speed data with any props.
|
I purchased the boat from a member here. "Jammin " I think it has history with other members of this forum. It's a 30' sutphen ocean pacer. It currently has twin 500hp's with konrad 540 drive's. Probs are P 5's, 14 " with 24.5 pitch. I will have to look into gear ratio. I'm slowly getting to know all the little details about the boat. Maybe Jammin will chime in on past performance etc.
|
Adding a little info to my previous question. The gear ratio in drives are 1:51:1. Boat wot rpm is 5100. Thanks
|
What are the current speeds and rpms?
|
5100 rpm at 74 mph. Thank you

You're at 6% prop slip which is already very low for a straight bottom V and your rpms are where they should be. |
Any recommendations on another prop to pick up some rpm and speed? I feel it has a little more.
|
I picked up about 300 rmp going from stock to labed props. That might get you what your looking for.
|
My p5's are labed. I'm wondering if I need to go to a stock bravo1 25 pitch for more top end speed and max rpm
