We just took delivery on our new baby and the we are trying to dial in the right prop.
Our dealer is supplying several aluminum props till we get it dialed in and install the stainless.
Any others with the same setup please chime in.
Stats. GSR 2250 with the ESP package and a Honda 250. 2 people and 15 gal. fuel
1st. prop was a 21 pitch. We could not hit 6000 RPM's but we hit 45 MPH.
2nd. prop was a 19. with the 2 people we hit 6000 RPM and 43 MPH.
2nd trip on the 19 pitch with 4 adults and 40 gal fuel and we hit 41 MPH before the prop blew out at 5800 RPM while trimming up.
I believe that if we had a 19 pitch stainless, we might have achieved the 6000 RPM's without cavitating while trimming out.
I really don't want to drop down to a 18 pitch to get to 6000 RPM if the 19 stainless can reach the 6000 RPM goal.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks
Mike
