Hi,
Even alone on the boat (quicksilver pilothouse 605 with a Mercury 115HP) it takes too much time to plan.
With tree persons on board, it is not possible to plan.
I made some tests with a different prop.
Here two videos (alone on board):
before (wind in the back, 3 blades aluminium 15 pitch) https://youtu.be/ddu7NctuNz8
after (4 blades Stainless steel 13 pitch) https://youtu.be/IG79zYdy9yg (the sudan short rpm decrease is voluntary)
Planing starts at 25km/h !
As the SS prop vibrates below 1000rpm, I'm not going to buy an SS prop. what alminium prop would you suggest ?
Thanks,
Serge
