So Frustrated!


Jay,

I took the boat to one of the local go fast guys to prop it up. I have the 26 Fury, 25 Fury and 26 Tempest. Set the boat at 3.24" and when I get the boat back the Tempest is supposed to be the prop to use. Hole shot is okay but blows out a bit when leveling out. The prop has two plugs with 3/8 opening. I put the Fury 25 on, raised the motor 1/4" and hole shot is good, no blow out but I loose 2 MPH on top end. I have not put the Fury 26 back on.

Suggestions please.....

Thanks,

J.E.

What are you running now is it a Phoenix with a 250SHO or what? What kind of RPM's and Water Pressure do you have?

Re: So Frustrated!


not sure what model u have but i got a friend that did alot of testing he's got a opti 250 hes running 27 tempest 74 heavy 650 pound tourny load 2 people he has to run the small pvs holes hes at 2.5 below still blows out allitle when the nose drops .. just givin u someone elses setup to compare by everones is different though. the 26 has alot of rake and cupping im thinking the 26 has around 31 deg box stock.. keep jacking up till ur at safe pressure if it keeps blowing out on breakover buy the solid plugs and start by drilling small holes and go up till u start blowing out then drop to previous non blowing out size and make another set to use ... my buds bird always blows out allitle this setup is for top end a jackplate skid pan made a huge difference when fully loaded ... this may have nothin to do with setup but i know on my buds boat if u dont get on the trim as soon as the nose starts droppin after planning off itll wet out just about the whole boat and it takes awhile to get air back underneath the hull... give us ur current water pressure at wot and the rpms and speed from each prop with a load comparable to the way u will be running the boat most of the time

How was the 25 Fury doing before you raised the plate. The Fury will not run the height the Tempest does simply because the Fury is 14 inch diameter and the Tempest is 14 5/8 inch diameter. Have you tried droping the engine back down or even lower with the Fury? If not I suggest you try it, the Fury does not like the higher height like the Tempest does.

Jay,

I emptied the boat last night leaving only my jigs and crankbaits in it so I've lightened the nose. Right now it's running very flat. I will drop the motor this morning back to 3.25 and give it a go. I'm wondering if adding a full plug will help the Tempest?

Load the boat as it would normally be, removing weight to make it run want do ya any good once you load it back down.

I know a guy that did the same thing, removed the trolling motor also and lost 7 mph.

When it comes to weight, it's all about the trim position, when you remove weight from the nose the prop that at one time was running parallel through the water now does not, this is a speed killer.

It helps to know what kind of RPM's you are turning and your water pressure as well as what motor and gear ratio.

Water pressure is a question right now as the sending unit shot the wad.
Jay I put the 25 Fury back on, dropped the motor back to 3.25 and it's running better but not there yet. Tournament load today 71 MPH 73 solo with full fuel.

As set up I'm running 5900 to 6000 at full up trim.

One other thing to Jay I am running at tournament load I just took the "tackle shop" out of the boat emoticon

Don't be scared to drop the engine more, alot of guys are finding out the Fury has to be run deep to perform.
