ok guys went down a pitch from a 25 to a 24 to get the rpms up, I usually run one wide open and two large plugs. Anyone gone down a pitch and if so where did you start, I know I will have to play with it just looking for a starting point.

What prop?
Tempest
What motor?...….Yes it matters.
Assuming the 25 pitch was also a tempest, I would start with the same plug configuration as before. Logically a 24 pitch should need less venting than a 25 but you have to start somewhere.If it worked with the 25 it will be close for the 24.
Tempest or Tempest Plus?Originally Posted by Rharrell
I have the A45 Tempest and they require different plugs than the Tempest Plus.
Regular Tempest plugs can be found here: http://bblades.com/shop/accessories/vent-plug-tempest/

It's the same motor on the same boat.
200 efi and a tempest plus
Start with the same venting as previously used.
I would start with the same setup as before but if you are trying to set it up now in the cold air it will change when it warms back up. Right now the 25 should be turning more rpms anyway.
The rpms even cold are still to low, long story short bought it used ran it had it repaired and they are low
The prop? Who repaired it?
Local guy his name is Brian professional propeller I think was the name of his shop
Send it to mark tell him how many rpms you need you will have it back in 10 days
you can try one of my 25's and see if they turn easier
Ok thanks for the offer, to be fair to Brian the cup had prettt well worn down on it when I bought it. Don’t think it’s his work just to much prop for my boat. Not down playing Croxton I hear he’s the best
If the cup was worn down they should re cup it . ok well the offer stands if you want to try one.
