Need a little help guys

[BrianM-LA]

I'm running a 05 202 with a 225HPDI turning a 27T1 on a 15 inch rapid jack. I'm not real sure how to measure for pad height but I can tell u that the motor is mounted in the second hole from the top and the plate is up 1 3/4. I,m turning the 27T1 at 5900 wot, and the air temp. doesn't seem to make a difference. Water pressure is around 24-27 psi. The fastest I can get on GPS is 76.8 to 77.6 with tourney load and two people. I was expecting more or is this about the best?? Any help would be great.

27 TXP will rock on that setup. Need a pad to shaft measurement on it. Sounds as if you're way too low.

[BrianM-LA]

level the trailer in the front on the tongue, then trim the motor to level the propshaft, now measure from the ground to the bottom of the pad, then from the ground to the center of the pad. Let us know the difference in those two measurments. you definetly sound too low.

thanks for the info GE. I'm running 1 inch below the pad. what do u think I need to do??

[BrianM-LA]

Thanks chad from what I can tell I'm one inch below the pad.

Chad,

You just confused me. Not saying that's hard, but I think your fingers got going a little too fast during that post.

You can probably come up some more. Rebel1 is running his even with the pad turning a 28 TXP close to the limiter.

Brian, like Greg said raise your motor up and watch your water pressure. Try to keep it at around 12-15 lbs. You said you are turning a 27 T-1 to 5900, what kind of load and how many people? Also, like Greg said, a 27 TXP would rock.

Well to me those numbers with full tourney sound dead on had a 225 been their done that , maybe a diffrent prop like Ge said ??? good luck these guys no what they're talking about
