Mine usually gets plenty of time to warm up! Once I get away from the dock/raft-up etc. etc.. I let it idle while I put everything away and secured, get the my son/passengers situated, put my jacket on, etc., etc........

I never hammer down on anything that's not warmed up!!

I don't recall exactly what the dollar amount was. I purchased a new 28P Bravo 1 prop from Teague then sent it to BBlades to get labbed. As I remember it was a little cheaper that way. You will want to know what GPS speed and RPM that you are running before you send your prop to be labbed. That way they can dial it into the best set up for your boat. BBlades phone number is 920-295-4435. Brett was very easy to work with and very knowlegable. He understands what runs good on the Velocity's. He did the props for Tyler Crockett when he used to race a 26 Velocity....and he won his class.

By all means, speak with Brett at BBlades. He will know what will work best for you. He has done great by me. However, do it soon, as he is probably getting busy.

Thanks Guys,

VV, thats a nice looking prop, looks abit dull though..lol

Does it matter where i install my ignition box, i'm going to order the bracket for it and mount it either on the transom or in the back of the engine off the heads. r there any pros or cons to this installation area.

thanks

Pragmatically, mount it where you can get to it easy for replacement purposes. Many of my friends now carry a spare MSD on board!

Hey fellas,

which gasket am i using with the thermostat assembly the left or right. also the sender assembly temp is not fitting what should i do. the base of it is to wide.


Revelocity, thanks,
i did do a little research on the MSD ign and i found that some people had problems, but so did every one else with the other brands. but that's some good advise about carrying a spare..


thanks q

qaberdeen, I used the flat gasket on the right.

if the therm housing is up side down, insert o-ring/flat gasket, thermostat, plastic spacer, therm housing gasket, in that order. If you are putting a sending unit in the housing, you will need to have the housing gasket with the continuity rivets for it to work properly!

On the MSD/any ign., it also helps to wire them with good weather pack connectors. Wire them so that you can unplug one box and plug in the new one!! Makes it a lot easier to swap them out!!
