Re: Prop's performance & trim tabs - need help
Peter,
Merc has a prop selector program on their site. I`ve called Powertech and prop gods and they were very helpful too.
Denny,
You did tell me it was an Apollo not a Rev 4....... As for mpg , I only know it`s not pretty. I don`t have the temerity to do the math. Would Boysen reeds help? I`m spinning 5200 full fuel and light load w/ a 15 3/8 x 17p mirage +. `96 rude 150 w/ 90 #`s comp across the board. Oh, vent plate 1" up.
Fr Frank, thanks for the explanation, I think. It`s starting to make a little sense. I did say a little.
All the used powertechs I`ve seen 4 sale have been thrashed. The mirage + did marvelous work with the attitude , but as Denny said it does blow out. Lost a lot of positive trim ability, which is a concern in a head sea. So I will keep looking for a good 4 blade.
Thanks,
Sandy
