Hello all. Well, the white plastic "guides" that the door attaches too and slides in the top track have both broke. I am trying to find the replacement parts. Anyone ever have the issue and know where to get the parts? I did find a complete replacement track system, that includes everything...
I was hitting the REV limiter on those props, I just changed out to SOLAS 19p 4 blade Aluminum, man Im getting some good numbers with them. WOT at 4700 RPM, 38-40 MPH, and a great hole shot.
Yup ,I caught the typo, and realize he was trying to help, no disrespect at all.. I prob should have pointed out that I made a typo...my bad on that one
great, yeah, I have about 8 feet of water, but I can stand on the bottom with my scuba gear and do it, wasn't sure if being in the water would cause an issue. thanks, ill be trying it tomorrow..
Anyone know if you can adjust this in the water? I need to adjust mine, they are slightly off, and have SCUBA gear, was thinking to just jump in the water with a phillips head and a measuring tape and get it done without pulling the boat out of the water..
OK, well here are my new numbers....WOT is at 4700-4760 RPM, byt GPS I am getting 38-40 MPH, depending on the conditions. at 3500 RPM, cruising 24-26 MPH....not to bad at all I am thinking, and no longer hitting the REV limiter. Hole shot is fantastic
Now, does anyone else have trouble...
Sure, ill have them tomorrow when I try them out. they are 14.25 diameter, 19P 4 blade aluminum. Ill have the performance numbers. My mechanic is estimating around 4600 WOT RPM for me, but remember, right now with the 17P vengance, I am at 4960 WOT and hitting the rev limiter, 41 MPH
I called the audio place, they are suspecting the outputs on the head unit. I did change the wires, and the problem switched sides. They gave me some voltage numbers to check on on head unit side, so its a place to start.
OK, im pretty good with this stuff, but this issues as got me stumped. I have a 280 DA, 2004. I just upgraded all the speakers, head unit, and amp. Interesting issue, when I turn the radio on, im not getting sound out of the left channel of the amp at first, as I turn the volume up, the sound...
well, you are the second person with a similar setup to me and not having prop issues. I keep being told every boat is different. I just got some 4 blade aluminum , recommended by my mechanic. I am going to try them out this week and see what happens. He will take them back if I dont like...
OK, got the props back. much, much better. They were both unbalanced, and needed some work. Needless to say, if I hammer down, and push the throttles all they way down, I eventually hit the rev limiter. 4960 RPMS and 40.8 MPH via GPS. Still shouldn't do that. I am going to try 4 blade props...
well, I brought the props in to the local prop expert. He does not see any obvious issues. He is going to measure them. Hubs look good, not slipping. He said the boat is under propped, a sea ray 280, should be more like a 19P or 21P. He is now the third professional that has said I need a...
You mean bring the tabs so the boat is "bow up" that fully retracts them, correct? I know when I go " bow down" that gets me on plane faster...
It might be some of the issue, but I think there is more. I am actually pulling the boat from the water Sunday and taking the props off and bringing...
well, good question on the trim tabs. I assume they are all the way up, as the retract when I turn the boat off, dont they? On my old boat they did, im assuming they do on this as well. And yes, I have hit the limiter on both engines, although it is happens more on the starboard engine
