prop for 2060

maurice50" Posted 3/22/2008 11:23 AM (#67434) Subject: prop for 2060 New User Posts: 4 I have a 2008 2060dw with a 250 pro xs . I have tried several props and not happy with the top end speed. On gps 59-60 is the top end, hole shot is great. If any one else has the same rig I would love to know what prop you are running and your preformance.

I'll dig around for you. Shep Posted 3/22/2008 11:50 AM (#67436 - in reply to #67434) Subject: RE: prop for 2060 Member Posts: 3899 What props have you tried? What RPM's are you seeing with each? I expect that boat to be a mid 60+ performer We saw 63 from the Tuffy Factory 2060 with a 23 Tempest? The motor was the 250 XS. It wanted more, but we were at redline. Anyway, I'm thinking maybe a 23 Rev4? Let me know, as I have one for sale. maurice50" Posted 3/22/2008 12:54 PM (#67439 - in reply to #67434) Subject: RE: prop for 2060 New User Posts: 4 I will check when i get home and see what hole we have it mounted on, its the one you told us to Steve. I have tried everything from a 17 to 23 and now I have a tempest 3 blad 19 which get me the correct rpms but not what it should have on top end. The 21 ran the same speed , but was about 3 thousand more rpms to go.

Runs about 5600 rpm and about 56 to 58 mph gps. Great big water prop.

Same gear ratio as on the Global Opti's, and more power should result in a higher pitch required. Going from a 19 to a 21 shouldn't leave you 3,000 RPM short. Maybe 300 is what you meant? But I still find it hard to believe your not over revving with that 19. Could it be there is a tach issue? maurice50" Posted 3/26/2008 1:44 PM (#67583 - in reply to #67454) Subject: RE: prop for 2060 New User Posts: 4 I have a 24 pitch tempest three blade on now, rmps are good, went all the way down to a 21 two but speed was the same on all. maurice50" Posted 3/26/2008 1:52 PM (#67584 - in reply to #67583) Subject: RE: prop for 2060 New User Posts: 4 what picth was the high five you were running on you 225 opti ?

Fully trimmed out? What are your RPM's at this speed? Horshak Unlogged Posted 3/26/2008 2:06 PM (#67586 - in reply to #67434) Subject: RE: prop for 2060 I'm running a 23p High Five.
