Re: Problem with Prop/pitch
HELLO again, Sorry it took so long to reply but this computer took a hard hit from a few viruses and needed repairs. The tach has a rotary selector. I do feel 1/2 increments between some #s but maybe the thing is old and faulty. It does aapear that someone had turned it before from the looks of the screwdriver gouges in it. It may have been turned past its limits. While running, it went on and off a few times. I turned the selector on the back and it would come back on. It is VERY touchy. I picked up a new tack and will have to try it out to see if in fact it is the tach or faulty wiring which I doubt. I did replace the trim tab motor and it is working great. The first one I installed would only work on occasion and would stick either all the way up or all the way down and pump would just whine. It did seem to plane out faster this past weekend. I was able to back off the throttle after plane and trim acordingly and she would stay on plane (unbelieveable). Because of the tach problem I was unable to get any reading. Top speed was still 30-32 mph. but that is probably because of the 15 1/4 X 15 that is on there now. I did put 75 gallons of fuel plus large cooler, wife and kids plus gear and it really didnt seem too bad. I could only plane at full throttle just before four barrel kicked in but that is probably all the weight. Any suggestions? I will install the new tach and get some #s ASAP. Thank You Again, Dago
