She�s ready!

im trying to think of something to say, i wanna get yelled at....i got it, I love Mastercrafts

I for one have stomac ache from laughing...
But aside from that... I'm lost at all these technical explainations from the "Grand Poobah"s here... I don't know what to do anymore

Will you boys stop trowing grenades at each other and start explaining it to a complete engineering nitwit like me...?? On top of that... I ran out of beer and chips... damn!!!

OK boys, recess is over.

Kristof, I know nothing about all of that stuff as well, but I've been around here long enough to give you a loose translation. It all pretty much means,

"Go out, enjoy your boat, have fun."

I'm pretty sure that's all that really matters

(Tim and Chris, not putting down your "discussion". I'm always impressed with your collective knowledge. Just trying to put it in terms I can understand.)

Kristof,

in a nut shell since the climat, and boat's are very diferent your results won't be the same has others have seen on there boat's. Don't worry about limiting the rpm right now you have to find out what your max rpm is currently before you start changing props otherwise you most likely will be wasting your money and get the wrong prop, shipping not an issue here in the states if we make a mistake, but over there it's a little diferent story. So once you have a base line for your RPM, then you need to figure out what diameter and pitch prop is currently on it that you got that RPM. Don't worry about over reving the motor, your not just find some smooth water make sure the motor's up to operating temp then nail it and let max out. listen to the motor and make sure it doesn't start to ping on you if it does back off get the tune right and go back out and try again. You not going to run it for very long at WOT just long enough to know that's all she's got to give then slowly back off the throttle and cruise and enjoy the day. Now once we have the Max RPM and know the prop's spec then you can decide what you need and that is based on the rpm so you may need more pitch or cup to lower the rpm or you may need less to raise it. Too many variables to say yes this is exactly what you need and if anyone tells you otherwise there full of it and blowing smoke up your tush.

also don't have the boat loaded down with fatsacks or a lot of gear as that will reduce the rpm and give you a bad reading to go by.

See... That's an argument I can completely understand

I am trying to follow but having a hard time as this is all new to me.(Not the fighting ...just the mechanics!).

79 I have an Acme 540 ordered for my 86, but i have definetly not tested out my max rpm like you suggested. Am i screwed?

P.s. Not to sound like a dumb*****, but can someone explain the ratio on the transmissions. Any questions about diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol or blood thinners i can handle from you guys. Transmissions....i am screwed!
