Or get a 150 so you can buy a prop that will work
You're going to need a higher pitch. That 26 trophy needs rebuilt. I know because it was mine. I didn't care about speed. Just had a 25 which was hitting rev limiter and when I took it to a good prop...
You bought my boat. I traded it in for a Bay 20 DLX. If you check posts back in summer 2015 you'll see I spent some time on same problem. I'm not a speedster so I eventually gave up. The 26 prop...
I just took my leaning post out and mounted a seat. Quick question does your shift/throttle have a look to prevent shifting into reverse accidentally. Mine doesn't and I've accidentally knocked it...
Hi, I'm also looking for weekday partner. I'm handicapped and seldomly fish longer than 4 or 5 hours. Live in muscle shoals. Have a 17 G3 Bay DLX 20ft. New to the area. Moved here 2 years ago mostly...
upper 40's Jackplate could be raised. Its acceptable to me as is I was hoping for a cruiseing speed of 35. but only get 30 at 4000 rpms. hole shot was still no problem, jumps rite up on plane. If...
With the rebuilt 26" trophy prop still didnt break the 50mph limit but max rpm was only 6000. Im done screwing with it, it does 30 at 4000rpm I can live with that.
I have trolled on lake michigan and ontario for salmon for years the most common aid is the drift sock and amish outfitters is the most popular brand. 2 small socks work way better than 1 big. useing...
I liked the G3 talons allot but didnt see one till after I got an xpress X-19. If I had it to do over personally I would go with G3 or New tracker 195W
I traded for a 25" trophy prop but before I recieved it had a major medical problem. Was able to go out 1 time last year with the 25 but failed to get over 50mph. The prop I traded for was in far...
Been away for awhile (health) you're rite 25P not enough. but close had it worked to a 26P cant check it out till spring but might be interested in the 28 then.
I may have done the math wrong but you have to realize that my lower unit gear ratio is 2.55-1 other motors are around 2-1.. 6000rpm x 23" pitch X 60minuets = 8280000
8280000 devided by2.55...
I recently bought a x19 with a 140 hp suzuki. I only have about 10 hrs on it but I am very pleased. The suzi has a 2.55-1 gear ratio so that has caused some problems trying to get it propped...
have a prop with less than 2 hrs on it for any late model suzi 4 cyl. in the prop for sale area.
23 P is definitely too slow of a prop. easily hits rev limiter. Doing top speed calculation with the 2.59-1 lower unit and 10% slip gives me a top speed of 2.1 X pitch or 48mph. That is about what I...
Just measured and rite now 5 in pad to shaft. 4.5 in on the top from mount to top of JP. I have had it .5 in higher and 1.5 lower. 3" with 3 blade 21p al. prop 47 mph 5900 rpm boat empty. 3 blade...
Quick question, any way a yamaha T1 prop would fit my motor?
Yea thats how I did it the 1 time that I did the measurement. Will give full report sunday after I get it on the water again. With actual prop to pad measurement.
Yea I cant level anything. Boats parked in my yard. Plus I have a very hard time kneeling or squatting. The 1 time that I tried to measure the shaft to pad I think it was about 4 in with the jack...
Thanks Milky, I am just going to run it as is for equipment untill end of season and then try to sneak lower unit into work during winter shutdown and weld on the skeg myself.
No gap the housing extends over the barrel slightly. No problem with hole shot.
Everything seems fine but I am still hitting the rev-limiter and have to lower the jack-plate to increase speed and...
The skeg just hits too close to home for me. Twenty five years ago I broke a skeg and believed the marina about all the stuff being written here and lost a couple weeks of fishing because of it. A...
All good advice. Thank You for reading whole thread before giving it. I did note in a earlier post that at extreme performance it can be an issue. And in the last post that I am going to repair it....
Once again it is not dangerous to run without a skeg. It is there to protect the prop. If you decide to have it repaired, it costs are about $200. I will replace it to protect my prop and lower unit...
The primary purpose of a skeg is prop protection. It also provides some control surface. But the approximate 15 sq/in of surface provided by the skeg is not much when compared to the lower unit and...
