I started at 1/2 below pad which is way to low for my 03. I was trying to be conservative while learning to wheel my ally. I love the trophy but my problem is I have an offshore mid which has no exhaust coming out around the prop, which means with the big hub of the trophy there was not enough slip to allow the engine to rev up.. (At least that's my interpretation of what I was told) so I've since raised my engine to even or a tad above, and removed all vent plugs so it's wide open. I haven't had a chance to test yet but hope this will solve my problems. I was told to switch over to a pro et or drag 4 over the hub. I'd just like to try one before I start dropping $. I know when I put my 3 blade Over hub prop back on it shot out of the hole like it should, it just doesn't carry a fishing load. Are you going to the rally? im looking forward to hopefully be able to try some different props out there and find one that will work for my load and setup, or at least talk with these boys that have a lot more knowledge and insight than I do at this point.How low are you running the 26 trophy, I have one and its no better than the drag 4. Maybe I'm running it to high, I'm about 1, 1\4 below the pad. Id like to trade the drag 4 for a prop that would work, Mick
Nah I'm not going to the rally. I always heard the trophy wasn't a surfacing prop that's why I run it low. With boat light I ran it 1\2 below pad and it ran 86ish. Guess I'm going to lower it more and see what that does. Can't hurt. Also I have a skid planer on my boat ,wonder if it's stopping the bow lift I'm looking forI started at 1/2 below pad which is way to low for my 03.
