    25T! prop wash out

    I have a 2015 Skeeter 250ZX using a 25 T1 on hole shot I get what seems like a car transmission slip let up on gas and than nail it and all is well. Don't know why this happens. The prop will run 5800 at 70 MPH. Do I need to change hubs? I have the jack plate at 7 dots. I have heard that Yamaha hubs are not that great. What type of hub is the Yamaha? What would be the best replacement? I'm rather new at this so bear with me. Looking for input.

    Motor is too high for the load... That is if the prop is in good condition... Not a poorly repaired prop that has blade area removed and shallow cup.

    We have all gone thru what you are during the learning curve. Spend some time reading the forums and sticky's under Props, Boat setup and Skeeter to get the knowledge on what others are doing and what information you need to provide us to help you. There are no shortcuts to the learning process. Most of what you are asking you will find by reading these posts. It will be time well spent
    Thank You Leon Pugh

    To go fast, Motor needs to be run high. Some blowout on breakover is common on 3 blades at raised motor heights.
