Re: New nineteen owner
welcome boatnboy17. congrats on your new boat.. got pics?
ya got a 165 L6? i'm gonna assume so.
as per my sig. i got the same boat.
i run a 19p alum. flo tourqeII prop.
my wot is 4100 @41mph gps, or 4300 @43 mph gps. best wot speed was 4400 rpm @ 44mph. imho, speed and rpm variatins are due to conditions. hot and humid, dry and cool, breeze, etc.
if ya got the same trim gauge i got, hash marks, + hash marks in the red. at best rpm w/o porpisinen or blowing out is usall at about 2.5 to 3 hash marks up. not close to the red. my trim limit don't work. i use trailer to trim. i usually run a hash mark up or round abouts. cruise at 2500 rpm.
imho, from what i've abserved of my boat. your doing good. i find 4k rpm on the tach @40mph. 22200 rpms on the tach @ 22mpg. etc... kinda an amazing fanomina imho....tach and speed are simialr.. after plane....
edit, sub plane i'm usally trimed full in. high seas may cause me to trim out some. depends on the situation. obviusly rpms vary much depending on sea conditons @ sub plane. ...
whats critical is high end of wot spec (3900-4300). with normal load, normal trim, ya wann be on the high end of the spec under normal conditions....
