torque shift prop question #2

[groznyiv]

Thanks for the information. I have another question. I read an article just this morning while doing a search for the torque-shift prop,<br /> http://www.stingrayboats.com/products/reviews/tb3_99.html <br /><br />They tried the 144-126 on a stingray 3.0L sterndrive and found it ventilated and slowed 0-30 times. They then tried a 144-132 and it performed better. What are your thoughts, is this due to the boat hull-motor setup or something else.<br /><br />Thanks again

I think if land and sea had a try before you buy service they would sell alot more props.<br />Your guess is as good as anybody on this.<br /><br />Its just too much money for most people to invest without knowing how well it performs.<br />I have read good reviews from boaters who take the time to get these props dialed in just right,it is part of the game.<br /> This seems to not be a quick easy mod,you have to like tinkering a bit.

Not Every One......<br />I Just got a Couple Spares......... <br />Splashed Your Boat yet Kelvin ????<br /><br />I just had a chance to barely glance over your article, but what I read leads me to believe they had the Wrong Cams, or other settings on the 126 prop.....<br />There's No Way in He11 a 3.0l is going to Ventilate a Properly Set Up T/S Prop................ <br /><br />I Strongly Recommond you wait,+ Find the 126 Prop...........

Groz---listen to Bondo---and search this forum if you have not already done so. Lots of setup discussion on this prop.<br /><br />I watched and looked at everything I could for several seasons before I took the plunge.<br /><br />It is best to get the original setup instructions that come with these props and read every letter.<br /><br />Go out with one other person who likes to tinker and spend an afternoon setting the thing up right.<br /><br />I use mine when pulling tubes and wakeboards----I can pop three tubes with a boat full of adults and just purr along with the engine RPM right where I want it---no extra load on the motor.<br /><br />That is really where this prop performs for my rig---low to mid RPM range and lots of extra pulling power.
