Re: Suzuki DT55 not shooting water out of the side hole
Hi,<br />What prop (diamater x pitch) do You use on Your DT55?<br />If it is Suzuki orginal black aluminium prop it is stamped on the prop like:<br /><br />V1300 (13 1/2 x13 diam x pitch), <br />V1500 (13 1/2 x15), <br />V1700 (13 1/2 x17), <br />V1900 (13 x19), <br />V2100 (13 x21)<br /><br />You probably have a V1300 or V1500 today?<br /><br />As a rule of thumb 1 inch change in pitch will change RPM about 200. So if You have to much pitch you should get lower pitch prop to get more RPM at WOT.<br /><br />You might try a pair of Smart Tabs. It will for sure help to let Your boat get up on plane easier. Hydro fins would probably be a good thing to try but Smart Tabs would be my first choice (possibly in combination with a prop with lower pitch than You have today). <br /><br />What boat (make and model) do You have? Weight?
