Might bring strut and tabs up abit

I pulled shaft out that day and the bushing had split in two, so i need a new bushing or may be a better strut.

That would be a good place to start. I dont think teh strut is to low by any means.
Just a lot of cavitation. Maybe you have an issue at that bushing that is causing a loss of power at the prop. Be sure to check the prop shaft for damage/burrs as well.
If you still have problems after that, and you want to make strut adjustments, I would go down, not up.
Also check the center of gravity on the boat wiht all batteries and gear in it. If you set it on the edge of a countertop, it should have a balance point about 1/3 of the way up from the transom.

When running boat all was cool, but could not see much water flow from out let.
Boat loaded and cells as far back as they go, Cg 7"1/2 from transon.
Strut size 2"1/4 long and it has a brass bushing & teflon tube, i think it has ben cut down,
At motor it has a thrust bearing, not shore if need it, with dog spacing.
does size of strut matter ?

Have you another esc you can try ? i just brought a low voltage swordfish & put it in my cat & noticed a lack of perfomance , so , re-checked the esc settings , same thing . so i stuck a T180 in & the boat flew again . I have another mate thats had the same problem , i need to hook my data logger up, to see whats going on ...

[lenny]

No i do not, on my list of wants.

Thanks for info.

your turn fins sure look to be mounted low, i personally would think they would have been better mounted higher up the transom, and considering how deep they must sit in the water if that right side one is at a different angle than the left it would definately cause a right turn.

[lenny]

Thank for info, but i took them off and it still gos right.
Check out the gallery at fine design.com thats where it started at, it had a trans in it.
I called & email them but no call back or email back.

Mine does the same thing, 120a swordfish, seems to be a pain to program, going 180T next, could the pull to the right be caused by the drag of rudder being on the right?

Just adjusted trim tabs up, now flies out of water, need to wait on calmer water

[lenny]

Cool !
How far up did you move them up ?
What size is your boat L X W ?

[rc2266]

25" HOR deep vee, Feigao 540L 4893kv motor (I know too much but what the hell), 40mm 3blade grimm prop, just raised to take tension off adjustment bolts, water too choppy jupped about 15ft

Any one know where i can find a bushing for my strut ?
I do not know who makes it.

Thanks for any input.
