Fine tuning a SV27

[sunsation288]

Since i am at work right now , tomorow i will do some water test in a bucket , and let you know what i found ....many thanks again for helping
A father who are very upset to see in son play with him with the trigger

Ok since weather suck today ...i install the Eagle 3 ...and made some dry test ...(i think is not good ...but i made realy short full trigger ) i made 17.3 amp draw , and my son with the same batteries pack 24.28 amp ....

Not sure why then amp draws would be that different. Im not 100%, but I think you will get different readings with your eagle tree once there is a load on the prop. And loading it in a bucket while holding it will produce more of a load than it running through the water, letting it propel itself. In order to get accurate readings, you must let it run in an open body of water.

Have you tried yet, swapping the esc, and then swapping the motor?
Have you had the oportunity to GPS the boats to know how far apart they are?

I didnt catch the video the first time. Im jealous!!! How did you manage to get a ride? That had to be an amazing experience.

Hmmm, maybe you can get me a ride in the boat and I will meet you in Key West. Im about 7 hrs car drive away. I worked in Key West for about 5 months, building 10 Town Homes behind the Home Depot. When you go there, you will see where Im taking about. Its called Key Cove.


Anyway, back to topic, I would try swapping things as well. Let your son know its only temporary to help to try and resolve the problems with your boat. Or tell him you will just buy a bigger and much faster boat.. Just kidding. IM really curious to find the outcome on this.

If you can get me a ride... Christian, the whole day will be on me.... and the next day too! Ive not been to a Key West Race. Only the Sarasota and St Petersburg races. Will you watch the races from land or by water. Im thinking if I come down I will bring my boat to spectate from.

My gps works wonderfully inside the hull, just in front of the motor. Garmin Forerunner 101 gps.

EDIT: Is yours the red or white hull?

Thanks to be easy on me ...some picture when i am up side down

Definitely gunna be slower if your upside down.

Kinda hard to tell from the pics, but is your rudder kicked back? And is your strut angled down?

[sunsation288]

Inside and outside picture ...i use my spare time right now at work to post , since they remove the websense on the internet tonight

p.s. the picture of my son boat , the strut look negative , but it`s not , Both boat are neutral , it`s a illusion

[sunsation288]

Kinda hard to tell from the pics, but is your rudder kicked back?

Yes my Rudder are kicked back , what i have to do is slot the hole because i think i have a boat made a Friday morning after a big thursday night at bar

A kicked back rudder is going to create lift while turning and the boat is going to get really loose. I had this problem on a 52" gas cat I built. Tucking it under a bit solved A LOT of problems. However, I dont think this is the cause of your speed issue.

Also, are your tabs angled down or are they neutral?

Take the front of your battery trays out or remove the entire tray and install velcro to the floor of the hull. Then you can use your batteries to find the correct center of gravity by moving them forward some.

Yes mine are neutral , and my son tilt down a little
