Thread: Prop Hub Question

Have read a few other people having lift problems with power techs. It gets the job done, just don't get to utilize the pad on the boat

4 blade props Lift the transom more. They tend to lift the entire boat up front and back.

Moved the motor all the way down on the jack plate which required some new holes to mount in. have both props to try out today. Motor had about 1.5" more I could take it down. Like it all the way down, push of a button to raise it.

I bet rev limiter kicks in with 15

I'm gonna ease into it, never know til I try lol. I can always switch back to the 19 in 3 minutes. I think 17 would be a better pitch to try, but, ain't got one lol

I could hit about 37 before i got to 6k, gonna spin too high. It got out of the hole like it was on fire. Im still thinking the motor needs to come down another 2" or so. but Im all out of adjustment on my jack plate and motor

The stock 19p ran 41.7 at 5900 rpm. I think that will do for now, the little bit I adjusted it down seemed to help get more of the boat out of the water. Maybe just fill my rear livewell or move my batteries further back to help it out. Not gonna throw money at it since it still runs and handles really well, long as it gets me out on the water and back I can live with it
