i even own a laser engraver, just haven't played with it enough to know how to use it lol it works great but placement when i have to move the piece is where my problems arise

 

[mickyryan]

well i got my labels back lit , i think they turned out pretty nice , i used a stepdown transformer from 12v to 3 v to replace battery pack.

 

[Scott Danforth]

Micky, can you send details

 

[mickyryan]

[mickyryan]

ok so 13 mph was all i could squeeze out of it lol at 2900 rpm if i forced throttle foward engine sounded like it was gonna lose power so sweet spot was 2800 but never got engine over 3k rpm, also found out boat weights about 4960 total with full tank of gas and totally loaded . doubt very seriously i put a 1000 lbs in new glass on boat so i think bayliner/trophy must have lied about weight. prop im using was a 15x16 prop i had available but prop calcs are all over the place ....

 

[chevymaher]

You will get it sorted out.

 

[mickyryan]

it just dont seem right that i can only get 2800 rpm the boat came original with a 16x16 prop so id think a 15x16 prop would be perfect or dang close to it , im wondering if i have a fuel issue or a throttle issue im going to check both of those but even still 12mph at 2900 seems low

 

[chevymaher]

I used my prop calculator it said at your rpm it was doing 20.

 

[mickyryan]

but did it take into account that the boat weighs almost 5k?

 

[mickyryan]

only other prop i currently have is a 14x23p prop i think that might be too much pitch lol
