I'd love to scoop me up a 50 Post!
Lol - nope they are pitched identical but around or close to 28. Probably should drop the 27/28 statement since it is confusing.
No load we get 2550 and 2650. To be fair, I would bet my tach's might be off a bit. I do have the data prior to having the props dialed up to...
They are 3 blade - and I might ask the prop shop if they have a line on some spare props - good shout on spares.
I have 2in shafts and the props were at 24 x 24. We cavitated terribly, which is the reason we jumped up in pitch. Original spec's on the props...
I agree and many thanks! Mechanic's coming back out this week and we are going for another sea trial, but I am leaning very hard on being over...
I was actually over the 2350 rpm full load - 2450 and up.
3.5 to 4 in. From 24 to 27/28 - about 250 to 300 rpm
Prop change was after the exhaust leak. But that said, we were smoking a bit as I stated earlier before the prop change. Stbd turbo was not making...
I meant to ask earlier - are you in Shoreline or Alamitos?
Actually, we did a complete spreadsheet of numbers/specs, including speed runs and noting RPM/kts every 100 rpm from 530 up to 2350. The prop...
Yep, and bouncing off the governor. Actually hitting about 2400+ - but we cavitated and were not making the speed. I was like we had cardboard cut...
Who's doing your props? Wilmington? I see you are in Long Beach, we are in Alamitos. Both turbos are brand new. We've run with the breathers off...
We’ve run the engine hatches open and no difference. No load I am on par with factory specs and we easily make 2550 to 2650 rpm. Loaded I am...
They are rated 2350 full load. Smoking more on the port side vs stbd side, but it's from 800 rpm up we get the black smoke. No smoke at start up...
Ok, I know this is an old thread, but just thought I'd ask. I have been chasing smoke (black) for the last couple years. 1989 Bertram 37 - within...
Thanks Pacific Blue for a well written response - I wish there was a 'like' button.
Wheels right now are 25 x 26, but that will be changing. Not sure on the fuel burn. If I cruise around 1650-1700 at 14-15kts, she's pretty...
I have an 88' 37 Bert with the 550hp engines; and when new I bet it did run very well and like a rocket ship, but under primo conditions, minimal...
