Guys I am on my third lower unit, and the newest one came with a huge torque tab! The biggest handling issue with the newest lower unit was high speed porposing. I decided to start grinding away at it to make it look more like the last two lower units I ran. Both of them had very little torque tab.
Question is how do I know when to stop grinding. Theory tells me that the less torque tab you have the faster you will be, but it may be hard to drive. How do I find the perfect balance? Any thoughts?
My first lower, it looked like someone had dished out the starboard side of the skeg, ever so slightly, with almost no precieved torque tab at all, that seems like the best idea, but wonder if any one would share their secrets.
I also wonder if there is an optimum trailing edge angle and minimun safe length.
I run xb 2003 1/4 under pad, ( I looked over the back deck last night and could see the tip of the bullet at 55 mph.) it seems high to me, blown out lots, thinking about sanding lip, becuase the bow just won't trim out, so hull runs clean. I sanded is a little yesterday and it seemed to help.
My moter is 260 ported, no rev limit, best top speed 95 mph. with 28 Mazco RE3 worked by DAH.
Any experience or advice would be appriciated.
