I am the guy who was asking about Pirhana prop overheating. One of you guys said they would look up some numbers and see what I need in the way of a prop. Now I apologize if I am being to forward here as I have no idea how long something like that would take but do you have any info about what I need to do.
I just came back form my c abin and hereare some new info. The pirahana prop I have is a 12 5/8 X 21XB whatever that means......
very heavy load........way over capacity but it is a 1776Prov V Lund so it can take a lot of weight.....
3700 rpm 10mph......could not get up.....:'(
so stopped and puton a regular 15 pitch prop........... 6200 rpm and 27mpho
Heavy load barley got up after a long time........ 5200 rpm 30mph :/
2 in the boat 5600 rpm 35mphd
It may be that this is all I should expect from a 90 hp Honda........... I know my 2 stroke 90 Yamaha was clearly better and would always get up no matter what but that was 2 stroke and this is 4 stroke>o
