Hi Randy, a bit more info maybe. Is the blower sometimes working? Is it noisy?<br /><br />99% of blowers are controlled by an 'on/off' switch, no delay. Control units are available that automatically control the blower via a fume detector, is this what you are asking about?<br /><br />The speed of your boat is determined by a lot more than just your prop, even two exact boats will have different top end speed. Have a read of this, it hopefully will steer you in the right direction.<br /><br /> http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=36;t=000030;p=1#000000 <br /><br />Aldo
