Well a Bravo is over-rated on pitch. A 30 is more like a 29 and when you lab it it slips even more. Thats how I came up with my slip numbers.

I think the five blades are coming next Tuesday with the rep. He says he can dial it in. I like the way the left hand prop rides, doesn't do that "over to the left thing".

the 5 bld max is a mean prop. every boat i have tryed them on picks up across the board. lefty worked well on my kryptonite. godd luck guy's.

What are you changing to run the lefty?

Tom We Used A Lefty. No Need To Change A Thing.

Tom,
The new XR can run in reverse (forward for the left hand prop). The Merc rep told us that.

How do you do that? Change the shift linkage?

At the shift lever.

Nice. Why is it better to the left. Offset the engine torque?

Hay Ga;
Looks like you and Rick did some cruising last weekend. I bet your getting more comfortable with a little seat time...Looks as though you had a hard time getting Rick to relinquish the driving duties to you...Keep us posted on merc's return
