202 setup

[brando1298]

Just put a 2000 model 225 ox66 on a 98 model 202 blazer. What would be a good starting point for as prop shaft to pad and prop. Have a 12" rapid jack

[fastcranking]

I have a 15" inch rapid jack and a 26 txp ot4 set at 1.75 below, my boat is a 99 with the same motor...., My prop has all the holes open with a ring on it. I don't have a top speed to give but it handles very good with this setup and a good holeshot....

1in. - 1.5in. below the pad and a 26 TXP.

[brando1298]

Thanks. I have a 25 txp on it now and it spins it pretty hard. Just over 6000. Not sure of my prop to pad yet

[Rebel1]

A worked 27 T-1 might be good too.

[brando1298]

Prop shaft was 3" below. Just moved it up. Got it 1.25" below now

[brando1298]

The best it did 3" below was 73 mph before it started chime walking bad

[brando1298]

And i know it has alot more in it than that

[brando1298]

I hit a rock with less than 2 hours on the motor and totalled it. I liked it during those first 2 hours though.

The higher you raise the motor, the better the boat will handle, so give it time.

You need to get it even with pad, chine walking is something you will over come by plenty seat time, but will get better if you raise the motor up.

John, with his lower unit he will not be able to run that high.

[JOHN202]

I ran my 99 that high with a yamaha M prop and a Temptestat 1\2 above.

[brando1298]

Used to run my promax even with and half inch over but it had a sportsmaster lower unit

[brando1298]

What kind of mph should i expect out of it

My 99-202 would run 77-78 with a 225 Ox-66, but i did not play with alot of props to see if there was more.

[brando1298]

What prop u ran and at what rpms

[JOHN202]

Scroll up a bit, i posted the props, the rps were around 5800 depending on time of year.
