Hey all,
Have a 2008 Regal 2520 Fastrac with the 5.7liter volvo engine and the duoprop outdrive. All my other boats have been mercruisers. I have noticed on this one in fast hard turns there is a tendancy for the prop to cavitate (rpms go up a bit and some wicked vibration till I back off or straighten the wheel). This is with the drive full down and I am generally accelerating coming out of the last half of the turn to keep speed up. Is this common on duoprops or if not can someone suggest where to look for a problem? The props are stainless but not sure of pitch.
Just wondering if others with duoprop have similar issue.
Thanks in advance,
Rob
