Boat Setups

1FASTLASER · 08-27-07, 05:41 AM

Ok folks just thought I would give some info to ya'll. When setting up your boat for optimum performance please remeber that in the heat of the summer is not the best time to do it. Several reasons are the heat robs power from your engine and when u set it up in the heat the prop and settings of the motor will be wrong for the cooler temps of spring and fall. The prop is also pushing on a substance that is MUCH more fforgiving than when its cooler. Cooler water is more dense and hot water is much less dence. Thats just one of the reasons a prop that runs good on your rig in the summer is too much for the boat when its cooler.

Well you can ask around. I have been known to work some "BLACK MAGIC" on boats before. Just got through helping a buddy finally break the 90+ barrier. I ain't seen a smile that big in awhile. I told him just wait till the weather cools off and I'll pull a couple more tricks fer him.
