After breakin I am standing on my rev limiters at 52000 rpm at 78-79mph. 496ho brovo x drives 32pich 4 blade tabs 2.1 trim 4.2 rev limiters are blinking with 6 people and full fuel. I have more power and wont to use it. Where do I start?

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

how bout labbed 34's ?

I was thinkin the same thing.

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