    Re: aewrigh's build

    I was thinking that the Rotax was about my only option. I just don’t know anything about them. I would also like to keep everything I do under the 2500-3000 budget if possible. I did, however,...

    Re: aewrigh's build

    The only thing I would be afraid of would be weight. My boat bottom is only 4.5' wide and I remember with the 084 on it, I could lean and almost dip the back corner into the water. I know it would...

    Hey guys! This whole divorce thing hasn't hit me nearly as hard as I thought it would. I have only sold my 084 engines and reduction unit so I still have everything else. Before I completely give...

    Well that was a wasted trip feels like. Boat wouldn't get on plane and so I started lowering it back to where I had it in small increments and it was slowly getting better until it started dropping...

    Re: aewrigh's build

    One guy on southern airboat says he had similar issues with composite props and went to a wood prop and had night and day difference. I will definitely try re-pitching the thrust angle first.

    Hey Papee! So right now I am sitting 3/8 high in the front from level.....so what you are saying is I need to angle my angle of thrust even further towards the water? I will raise it another half...

    Re: aewrigh's build

    Perhaps raising the front of the engine will create lift in the back and get me out of the hole quicker and keep the nose from bouncing. That would be a win win to kill two birds with one stone.

    Re: aewrigh's build

    Hey corky, I hope to get out and experiment this weekend. My temp stays around 175 until I get to running it hard. Then it creeps up to around 200. It hasn't went any higher and once I slow down...

    Re: Hull to Prop orientation ?

    I am not sure, someone else will have to chime in. I have heard a quarter inch can make a huge difference. Personally I would make it to where you could adjust at least + or - an inch from level. ...

    True....everyone says if your hull is good, crank centerline needs to be as parallel as possible to the boat bottom so that the boat runs "free." That is the motor is not pushing the bow down or the...
