Default Re: prop survey

Tin, what mfgr of the tach (Teleflex or who?)...there should be a slotted plastic screw-head flush w/ the back of the tach's case w/ small markings at the different settings...you might have to shine a light in there to see it...

Sfprovyn, what is tach showin' at 37 mph?...for a 150, I'm thinkin' you got some more performance that small dia. and 18 pitch prop ain't geetin' for ya...IMHO, these heavy V20s need a larger dia. prop as I tried several and got best from a 15 1/4" dia. ;) ...and keep in mind that the wrong prop will overwork the motor and shorten life, not to mention a negative fuel efficiency... :-/...
