Props

[Lars T]

Hi guys a quick question
I was do a quick run the other reached about 68 mph (speedo-reading) but the enigine hit it max rpm and cut off about 6200??
does this mean that I am running a prop that's too "small" or?? I really like the "pull" of the High Five but not very keen on having the engine hit the "cut-off"-point at WOT..
HELP!!!


specs:
Bat P21
Egine 225 opti
Prop High Five 21" pitch

Other Phantom owners what are you running??

21" is a bit small - try a 23" you shouldn't hit the rev limiter with that - Have you got the engine quite high?

 

[Lars T]

Will try with a larger pitch prop..
What are you running?

Dunno if it sits high?? does it??

 

[Burty]

cant really tell from that picture.
put a straight edge on the bottom of the hull out towards the engine and see where the prop shaft is in relation to the straight edge ie. 1 inch below etc.

Will try to post some better pics then..

Have just mounted a Laser II with a pitch of 21 - will try this later this week and see what happens..

But I guess those props I have, are too "small" - might need some 23"'s then??

If anything I would expect the 21 Laser to rev more than the high 5 - but props are funny things!

After testing my Laser II 21" the engine did even more rpms however it was a bit faster at 5k rpms og felt like there were lots and lots of rpms to go
Thus i have decided to sell it - so if anyone is in market for a second hand, like new Laser II 21", let me know..
I ithink i want a Laser II 25" and a High Five 23" .- so i might sell my High Five 21" as well...

 

[Lars T]

What would a High Five 25" do to my boat??
or is the best setup a 23" High Five for pulling skiers and a 25" Laser II for speed..
Don't fancy the Cleaver..

 

[roofer]

[TheMutzNuts]

Will try with a larger pitch prop..

Its an older pic think lars has upgraded to Hydraulic since it was taken. Previous thread

(see I do pay attention !!!)


NOT-A-LOT

 

[Lars T]

That right Blu-Fin - Before testing it on water, I had a hydraulic one installed, aften you guys told me the previous setup was too scary.. Now all i'm missing is Roofers High Five 23" and a Laser II with a 25"

 

[BluFin]

Scream & Fly have a good selection of 2nd hand ones, and there is a lot of info there on boat weights vs power vs props if you read through the threads & aticles also in the buy & sell section.

 

[Lars T]

Have just bought Roofers High Five with a 23" and am now looking for a Laser 25"..
But will have a look at screamandfly.

Thanks..

[Lars T]

Thx guys - will look into those adds..

Chris - Did you recieving the fist "batch" of cash??

 

[Cookee]

The Laser 25" might be a bit big - a 23" might be better, and it could be "tweaked" to 24" if its still revving a bit high?
