I probably am overtrimming a bit, it was a quick test run. I don't think I'm too far off though. I'll get better RPM readings this weekend when I have more time to adjust the height on the...
Ok guys, thanks for the patience. Got it on the water today for a test run, here are the results:
24 pitch Laser II, 6200 RPMs, 6" setback Vance Mfg. jackplate (includes ~2" of static rise), 5"...
Not yet. However, in lieu of taking off the motor twice just to install a jackplate in the future (versus lowering it as I said I was going to do), I simply decided to purchase the 6" manual...
It's not blowing out when fully trimmed, however, the prop slip is really high at 24%. Perhaps lowering it will let the prop grab better (?) and as a result the boat will respond to trim better, but...
Wish I could say that this is an extra long shaft motor, but I don't think it is, unless it has been modified in a manner that I'm not aware of. The series number for this outboard is DF140TLK5,...
Thanks again for the responses, sorry it took me two days to get around to doing this. I'm not on the market for a hydraulic jackplate, however, a 6" manual jackplate from Vance Manufactoring seems...
I'd be glad to take some pics and post them. Will post either tonight or tomorrow. I'll also re-check my PTP measurements. FWIW I measured PTP as described on Mark Croxton's website.
Guys thank you so much for the responses! The definite consensus is the jackplate, and that's the direction I'm going to go in, I'll let you know how it turns out here in a few months when I get...
My mistake-you're right, I didn't specify...its 6" below pad.
Thanks for the responses! The prop to pad measurements are listed in the post with the propellers I've tried. The trophy was tried with the engine at the second hole up from the bottom, and the...
Hey guys,
Posted this in the Triton forum a while back but didn't get any responses, and have tried a few different setups since then to figure out my issues. Recently acquired a 2005 Triton V186...
Hey guys,
Purchased a Triton v186 Magnum (aluminum hull) with a 4 stroke Suzuki 140 hp, had it out for the first time today. It has a top speed of 43 MPH, which seems a bit slow to me, based on...
