Steps wrote: 50hp Merc height looks good.. think if changed either way to 'fine tune' you would fall out of that ideal height. Gearbox ratio Please check this 2.33:1 23.4 mph @ (20.3kn) 5720 rpms Thats 23% slip... rather on the high side for WoT Need far more grip, diameter..which will result in a smaller pitch to be midway in manufactures recommenced WoT rpm range at normal boat load. Test something around a 11 pitch and another 1/2" diameter. |
