e-tec numbers
 

well I had the boat out all weekend, well sunday and monday , and Iam not sure if the prop is rite for the boat,

the rpms in the manual for my boat reads 4850-5850
and I was running 4900 rpms at 40 kts

not really sure what to expect , I am waiting for my brother to take the boat for a ride , he seem to know props and sizes etc

any input would be appreciated :D ;)

LS *took mine out too. *My dealer said I should be turning 5500 to 5800. *My numbers were 5100 and 41MPH. *What kind of knots were you tying? *Only kidding! * I love it! *Billy Mac *;D

Was that your wide open throttle RPM's?

Re: e-tec numbers
 

Yes and tried all different trim angles.

Should get highest numbers trimmed to where it SCARES you!! :o ...

Re: e-tec numbers
 

Yes as it's trimmed up the prop noise get louder. *I don't know how it does it but the E-Tec won't allow you to trim it out of the water. *It is so quiet you can carry a normal conversation at full throttle. *I'll be posting my videos later. *Billy Mac *;D

1st...sure that's kts and not mph?...

2nd...what condition you trial in?...flat, no wind, no top, light load, 1/2 fuel tank, and no big fat nappy-headed hos?

3rd...motor trimmed out til she suckin' ducks (scary:o), but of course the rev-limiter won't let you blow your new motor

4th...assumin' all above, yer on the bottom of the mfgr's rpm range and I agree, that may not be best prop for fuel economy/cruisin' ... how's she do comin' outta the hole?...4 grand's a good cruisin' rev on lotta boats...what speed there?...

Lumber what pitch prop you have?

Mac what prop you have??

Re: e-tec numbers
 

You should run to a prop shop and have them tweak the prop some to give you a little extra rpm. 4900 is pretty close to the minimum 4850 and that will of course go down when you load the boat down.

That sounds low to me . That rig should be pushing 50mph .
