Ok fellas, I have posted on here about me trying to get the RPMs up and adjusting the jack plate, etc..I am running a 200HP SHO.
I now have it at pad: 17 inches, prop shft: 15 1/4inch. I tested yesterday, got to 69.8, 70mph, and RPMs, still only at 5600.. Water is 17-18 psi. I have raised the plate up far enough , don't feel comfortable raising any higher. I am still trying to break the engine in, currently only 8 hours. I am still running the same prop it came with, a 24pitch Solas Scorpion. It comes out of the hole, pretty quick, but just can't seem to squeeze the top end that I know I should be seeing, (low 70s, 73 maybe 74) and RPMs above 5800.
I am thinking of changing to a Fury 3 blade.. maybe 24 pitch.. Any advice, pro, cons, suggestions, experience running this prop on a 200 HP SHO?
Thanks
