First build... Cheap boat, lots of power

[seehuusen]

ahhh, how do you add pitch to a prop?

[masonis1]

I'm not really sure. I sent it to a guy and I think they just twist the blades. Ask Shawn I think he had done it

[srislash]

Cupping will add pitch.I just did a X646 and draw went from 5100 watts to 5660 watts so you have to watch how much and the draw it will pull.I have data for comparison if anyone needs it.

[seehuusen]

how do you do this cupping mate? I'm intrigued :) no dirty pun intended

[masonis1]

Hah I did notice it helped with caving on my mg and it's a rocket on this boat now.

You mean cavitating Mason?It will help that.
To do it you need some rounded pliers and a gentle hand. You can google it or go here and read http://www.mercuryracing.com/blog/pr...t-4-blade-cup/

Nice looking boat Shawn. Hah. Wish I could paint a boat like that

[seehuusen]

[masonis1]

Hope it does too. Looks very sleek

Well I have yet to fix my flex, I don't have a tool small enough to remove the set screw and now the flex is starting to get hard to turn. Not good, not sure how I'm going to remove this...
