Toffen,
My days are light here on OSO mainly because it's so difficult to talk with anyone here. I will tell you that there is a pretty good report , you may have to search for it a little, on ScreamandFly.com about spinning in or out and which works best. I read it and it was pretty interesting. One way gave a little better top end but lacked overall control, the other way was a little slower but there were substancial handling improvements. I can't remember which was in and which was out. I used to have a 24 w/twins and we alway asked the same question but never bothered to do the switch. The posts are interesting, but I'm in a single OB 21 Skater now so I guess the info didn't attach to a brain cell...or I can't find that cell at the moment. See you on SCREAMANDFLY.COM

By the way, I had spinning inward on my 24. Most people spin inward that I know.

Hey Big Popa Pump.Any tips on transom mounted water pick ups.I'll be doing transom mounted pick ups next month.Same boat,24 with twin 225's

Hi Toffen
 

I wrote to you 2 years ago on the prop shaft height on the 28' Skater, I had the center of my shafts mounted 1.75" above the bottom of the sponson, not above the rear step of course, I also ran the shafts as height as 2" up to 2.25" but at these heights you have to be very careful about the water pressure.

Regards Philip

PS. spin the props outward, right on right side, left on left

Hi!

Thanks Philip.

my pickups are made in the hull ,came like that , has check valve inline and are run to the exhaust plate.

phillip , why inward ,haven't had a problem ?

It may be different on some cats but some who have tried the switch noticed that inward gave more control but a little less top end. Outward gave more to top end but less control. The control issue was noticable, so they said.

An engineer friend of mine also suggested that if your motors were rotating in, and that they were perfectly alligned on the trailer, at full load the allignment would be off due to inward torc. I wonder if anyone has heard of this or if this is really the case.

I heard turning them in gives more top speed but less control. Turnning them out gives better control

You may be right Apache. I'm not sure which was which. There's a good report somewhere on S&F about it and the tests they ran.

i heard the same as apache has, but had no problem handling inward but i have not try it outward
