10x18 ronhill quick test
Переглядів 17714 днів тому
I put a cut on my 10x18p ronhill 4 blade. It’s picked up a fair bit more excellaration. The topend was roughly the same, but I reckon it might go a bit quicker with some more engine height as it wasn’t slipping at all.
11.25x20p over hub cleaver
Переглядів 3,3 тис.3 місяці тому
I took this video last summer when I was testing out some props. It’s an 11x20p cleaver It ran great and had plenty of excellaration for an over hub . I didn’t have time to dial in properly. I tested one a couple weeks back that had been pitched up to 21 and had a little bit of cup added. It ran awesome and did 96kph easy enough. There a excellent little prop for the price of them
Breaking in the 50
Переглядів 2143 місяці тому
I’ve put a couple hours on the 50 I rebuilt and gave it a couple quick squirts down the Logan this morning. I had the motor set low with the ronhill 18p 4 blade on. It’s got a lot of excellaration compared to 60 , but i reckon the gear ratio has a bit to do with it. Next time out I’ll try the 12x22 on it . It revs the forge 18p and the ronhill out to quick and I don’t want to rev it to hard jus...

Переглядів 1703 місяці тому
I’m going to try a merc 50hp on the tinny to see how it handles with 10/12kg less hanging on the transom. I’m currently in the process of rebuilding it. The previous owner ran it lean and nipped up a couple of pistons.
Tried adding an inch of setback
Переглядів 6954 місяці тому
I tried adding an extra inch of setback. This was before I fitted the transom mount water pickup. It averaged around 1.5/2kph better topend, but it porpoised at any speed under 50kph so I ended up changing it back to 4 inches because it’s a much better boat to drive set at 4 inches compared to 5.
12x22p blows out couldn’t handle the extra height
Переглядів 1884 місяці тому
Was testing out the transom mount pick up . I had the motor maxed on the jack plate running 2 inches higher than I can run it with the standard gearbox pick ups. The prop blew out at about 75kph when I trimmed out. I’m going to play around with weight distribution and put some more weight towards the stern. Hopefully I won’t have to trim out to far to pick the bow up.

    Bought a mod-v tracker sportsman tiller 1654 with a merc 40 EFI '2,33/1', it's heavy for its size at 330kg bare, but I will add a manual jackplate. 4 inch setback. Your videos made me want to install it 1 inch above hull bottom. Want to try cavitation plate above water on plane. Is a "SE Sport 300" hydrofoil still useful if above water on plane? Seller said 26knots, but I wanna reach 30knots and 6200rpm with a little fiddling ; ) The local mercury racing dealer can re-flash ECU to 65hp and 400 dollars US.

What would you say is a good 'intermediate' installing height? 25,5mm cav plate above hull bottom? I have no plans for jack plate, so I will go for mounting holes, (inch?) up or down. Cheers from Sweden. I learned alot from your videos, I was still installing cav plate below water on plane.

    • @knightcustombuilds6988
      @knightcustombuilds6988 3 місяці тому

      Yessir, I used the ball hitch method starting at 1/2" out from hub and 1/2" down from blade tip. Using heat helps alot. Be very mindful of how much you add. Little bit at a time is the ticket. That's just my two cents.

    • @merc625
      @merc625 2 місяці тому

      Cupping will help mate , but I’d probably send it to a prop shop . The blades are usually thicker on a cleaver where the cupping is and a bit trickier to cup. What is your setup mate? You might have to up the diameter a bit if it’s slipping a lot

      I Havent tested unplugging the jumper yet because i was able to get to 6000 revs with no load. So i suspect there isn't one , or if there is i think 6000+ is a good place to have one. There are however valve stops behind the reeds and small venturis for the size of the motor which seem to be restricting the power. And also the butterflies did not open all the way from the factory by slightly bending the stop tab on the #1 carb so they opened all the way i got 200 rpm more at full throttle with 3 passengers. Next step will be to slightly increase compression to make up for altitude and check that the timing is correct i heard some found the ign timing placed rather conservatively at WOT from the factory.
