Hi,
I've recently purchased a used Seaswirl 175 which was in need of substantial repair. We've had the engine changed (Volvo Penta 3L I/O) though the boat won't get enough speed to plane. The engine seems fine so we're assuming it is either the gearbox or (less likely) the propellor pitch. Does anyone know what gearbox ratio this boat should have? And also the standard propellor size too? Currently ratio is 1.97 with 17" prop - might this be the problem?
Many thanks!
