Prop, Engine Height or Both?

[ckessenich]

I ran my new 19 TRX w/ a 225 Pro XS last night. WOT I was hit 68 mph @ 5100 rpms. Water pressure 24. There's not enough bite on the hole shot and it spins out right before getting on plane. I currently have one prop plug in the 24P Fury and experienced a similar result with 2 plugs. The rooster tail height is right at the cowling. Current engine height is about 3.25" below pad. Thoughts?

What is the PTP height?

[ckessenich]

PTP is approximately 3.25" below pad.

I'm running at 2.75" which increased the top speed considerably but I don't have a blowout problem.

Raise motor, until you start to lose speed, or safe water pressure, then lower it about 1/4".

You shouldn't have any plugs in the Fury.

Thanks to everyone who responded. I appreciate all the feedback. One of the things I've learned is that every boat, even similar Tritons aren't all the same when it comes to set-ups. After numerous tests by myself, then eventually back at the dealer, it was determined that the tach was faulty and the hot foot was only able to use 88% of the boats acceleration. So they hooked it up to the computer, went through 3 tachs to find one that read what the computer read, adusted the ot foot posistion, kept the same engine height & prop w/ one of the exhaust ports plugged and got it going 71.5 @ 5750 rpm and it had more in it before they ran out of water because of ice. I think it's important to note that I picked the boat up in MN in March. It was a real cold winter so it couldn't be water tested before I got it. Should have it back May 3rd, just prior to the opener on the 5th. Can't wait!

Thanks again to In Tune Marine in Richmond, MN for sending a driver 5 hrs east to come get my boat & bring it back upon completion of this work. I can’t say enough good things about everyone over there!
