does anyone know how to figure prop slip. i just put this 225 opti on my 202 and i'm trying to get it set up right. i am still learning to drive this motor and need many more hours......but yesterday i was running full tournament load with 2 people and hit 73.6 mph gps. i have a 25 yamaha prop that has been worked and i was at 5800 rpm when i hit that speed. do you need anything else for prop slip. o yea my gear ratio is 1.75. thanks
I figured the 25 worked at a 26 and came up with 9.8% slip...pretty good for 2 people loaded as far as slip numbers are concerned.
You might want to do a search on the internet for a "Prop Slip Calculator". It will let you figure it out, however your RPMs and pitch need to be correct of course.
Discipline is the key, if you can't hack it, pack it!
i found a prop slip calculator and figured with both 25p and 26p. the 25p came back as 6% and the 26 came back as 10%.
GE Blazer.....i was told by a couple of people that you are the 202 man for setup. if i have a 225 opti what do you think would be the best setup.
I need to know a little bit more about your setup...setback, prop you're running, engine height, weight of load, ect.
GE Blazer......i was hoping you could tell me what engine height, set back, etc. that i needed.
OK...15 inches of setback, 1 inch below the pad, 26 or 27 TXP prop...need to know how much weight you carry??
Here is a link to a prop slip calculator if anybody needs one:
