Hey Folks.
I recently moved from a 2010 185 with a 4.3TKS (aluminum prop) to a 2012 190 with a 4.3ECT (stainless prop). Considering these two boats have the same hull, I was expecting better performance with the ECT.
Well, maybe it's my imagination, but it sems to me that the 190 has greater bow rise when I'm getting out of the hole, and the prop seems to get caught in an air pocket often (I think there's a term for that?).
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Maybe I'm just trimming it like I did with the TKS, and need to modify it?
On the plus side, the boat cruises at a higher speed, is quieter (and at the same time seems to have better engine/exhaust sounds)...but I didn't expect to think the TKS was a better driver! ::grin:
