With the warmer weather, and heavy tournament load, my hole shot is really suffering. I have a 27 T1 and a 25T1, which work great with a lighter load. How can I increase my hole shot when carrying a heavy load? (Bass Cat Cougar) Should I drop down to a 27M to compensate for the load, or should I try a 4 blade prop? I'll continue to run the T1's for top end, but need something when I know I'll be carrying more weight.
How many RPMs are you turning on the top end right now with the warmer weather and a heavy load?
I went to a Tempest Plus and I am running within .5 mph of my T1 on a light load and can carry the load very well without much drop off...It is about 1 mph faster than the T1 loaded... The T1 seemed to drop off in the heat and with a heavy load a lot more...It also has the best holeshot of anything I have tried...In the last month, I have tried a VMX, TXP, Tempest Plus, Trophy Plus and T1 and the Tempest is my bast all around choice...
201pro-what vent plugs do you have in your Tempest? Thanks.
What size tempest? You're right, the T1 really bogs down in the hot weather. Have you tried any 4 blades? I have a 27 VMX which ran great in the spring, but it can't carry a load.
I am running a 27 Tempest...Only 4 blade I tried was a Trophy and it just was not right and did not carry bow very well...
Thanks. I'll give a tempest a try. Were you able to run the flo torq with the factory thrust washer, or did you need a different one?
You'll need the 12-853948 thrust washer.

I run the 25T1 on my rig and it will throw my ranger out of the hole!!
I just put a 27 Trophy on mine the other day. It does well with a light load but with weight its not so good. I think it is the Cougar that does not like the weight. Mine doesn't at least.
