300 ZUKE Owners - AV Plate running Height and Prop

[kmoose]

One of the problems with Suzuki (Solas) props is the listed pitch. Come to find out the average pitch across the blade is 1-2 inches more making your 18.5 more like a 20-20.5. There is reason the slip ratio is so low on the Suzuki props.... the pitch is false and renders a false low slip ratio.

Moose is your zuke 300 at 100 hours yet? Trying to find some solid final numbers. The slip ratio was sick thats probably why its so low due to the not accurate pitch size.

I am thinking at this point to try the LFS and the Rev 4. The only reason i am stuck on the Rev 4, i have had such awesome results through the years. But that zuke gear ratio might really kill it.

Did u see much difference between the hole shot of the LFS and the Zuke Prop? I am guess the performance is not much difference other than at cruise. Can u shed any light? Thanks Again in advance Appreciate it.

The 18 Powertech has turned out to be a little under propped at load and my slip numbers are 10+. I'm going to wait until I get my Hermco bracket bolted on before I get back into propping. So far the 18.5 Zuke prop is as close to good as I have had.
