Re: WOT Performance Question
Here are the results....<br /><br />After a two notch up move with the motor...<br />The replacement of both head gaskets (which was unrelated to my chine walk problem)...(had water in one cylinder) <br />I had a 23P prop on the motor compared to a 24P that I usually use....<br /> <br />I took the boat out today and ran it for the first time with the above changes....<br />Is was a nasty day due to high winds, but managed to open it up anyway...<br />If you remember I normally ran 5100rpm at WOT at about 58-60mph... chine walked when I tried to gain more....<br /><br />Today at the lake I had the motor tilted out as much if not more than I ever have (according to my tilt guage anyway)... It reached 5800 rpms and never chine walked... It didn't reach above 55 mph, but I believe that had something to do prop pitch change and the rough water... 1 to 2-1/2' white caps....<br />Everything looks good so far.... I'm going to put the 24P prop on and do some further testing... I still think I can tilt out farther... No loss of water pressure, but still no rooster tail yet!!!!<br />I think I gained 200 rpms with the reduction in prop pitch and the rest due to the raise of the motor and head gaskets.... 700-800rpm gain all together...<br />Thanks..
