Is it possible to run a Raker prop on a 1.5L optimax? I have a 75opti that has been flashed by Simon Motorsports and is supposed to be putting out around 120hp..I am struggling to find a prop that i like and runs correctly...
The motor has 2.33 gears so i can turn a larger pitch prop after the ECU flash..
I have currently tried a 24p Trophy Plus and was at 5600rpm @ 43mph
I also had a 23p Trophy Plus that I was able to get to 5900rpm @ 46mph
a 24 Laser II with cup added by Mark was at 5400rpm @ 44mph and i had it as low as the jackplate would allow and would still blow out with any trim at all...
Running these numbers in a prop slip calculator seems to have the slip around 16+ that seems pretty high...
Others running this setup on a tin boat with similar specs to mine are getting right at 50mph...im not seeing that at all.
I was wondering if I could run a Raker on a small bore optimax? or if there are any other props that i should give a go..
thoughts?
