twin 350/250hp mercruiser w/Bravo I outdrives
Hey everyone, I have a 2000 Sun Sport with twin 5.7L 250hp Mercruiser with bravo I out drives. I currently am using vengence props 48 16316 19p I have a major issues with cavitation when trying to get on plain. Theses props realy suck the rear of the boat down when im trying to accelerate, when im finally on plain they are great but i cavatate so bad some times we dont even make it out ...please help any info would be appreciated
 
Can you give us some more info?

Is this boat new to you?
Are you trimming down before taking off?
How are you using the throttles?
Are you using the tabs?
What's the condition of the tabs?
What's the hull bottom condition?
What's the condition of the props/lower units?
What's your top speed and Max RPM (what kind of load is that with)?

Anyone else think of any questions?
 
Have the same boat and I think the same 19 inch props

Lazy Daze sounds like you hit the big ones.

I always trim all the way down on the drives and full throttle steady up until plane then back off.
