kevlacat 5.2 and f60 yammies where did i go wrong

[Scaredy Cat]

Scaredy Cat,

Mercury make the best props in the business, hands down. Stick with Merc to get the right props for your rig.

cheers

Can you suggest the best people to talk to in Brisbane, as I’m a bit reluctant to go back to the dealer that put the existing set-up together.
Has anyone got the rest of the yammies prop details- size, part No, as it would be good to get the Merc equivalent

[Mr__Bean]

Are you sure you need (2x) 4 blades for your 120 combined horsepower?

Sounds more like (2x) 3 blades would already give very good grip on the water.

Adding the extra drag would seem contradictory to what you guys are trying to achieve here.

Good to see there is another kc in the pba you can start giving that kittycat a run for his money!

With the threat of starting another debate, does that mean I can fish the PBA 1770 week and then get another bite of the cherry by backing up for the Ausfish week.
He will be harder to catch now he has the 90 Suz , we will both have to work together

The yam prop is 6E5-45947-00-EL (I think), 13.5 x 15, an option for you might be Michigan wheel equivalent # 101032, there is also Turning Point with the torq flow equivalent hub, I have no idea just how close the cross references actually are, Mercury do not make a good equivalent that I am aware of anyway.

BTW those 16p props you have are pretty rare and sought after second hand they pull good prices for a prop secondhand around $350 at times, sell like lollies at $250 on ebay.

deano you know jelousy is a curse ,

i will try a few diferent engine hights with scaredy cats 1900 new model
but will advise against 4 blades as i have triied them and they give too much stern lift (dangerous in a cat and will cause bow steer)


dont mind the banter and as for a little friendly rilvalry between the cat owners is fine by me bring it on because as we know we are in a league off our own.
but just so people know
fuel 0.8 - 0.9ltr per klm 200klms trip 170lts fuel not bad and i dont mind using all off the 180 hp and untill the box is full and 3 fat buggers in the back no wet deck bit different with the 3 guys down back and full esky (just some facts so potential 90hp suzuki buyers dont get put off )

Hey Scaredy Cat, I sent Ian a PM like you asked. Coorparoo Marine is a Mercury dealer - maybe try them.

Wayne - are you doing the Ausfish Trip in Sept or the PBA one in Oct? I suggested to PBA that Oct is no good due to school holidays and no houses available, but they have not responded yet.

I reckon PBA should go up in Sept with Ausfish.

Scaredy Cat,

I don't have a

Scaredy Cat,

I don't have a listing with me but try a respected Merc dealer in your area or try The Prop Shop here in Melbourne. They are very good and they are Merc prop dealers also. They will be able to help but they may also be able to steer you towards a similar outfit in Bris.

Cheers

Hey Wayne good to see you didnt take it to heart Another 60hp could be handy but im pretty content for now! You should check your hull for water, you never know. When is Ausfish week???

[Scaredy Cat]

Thanks to all, and let the games begin,
I will get a set before going to Rainbow Beach next weekend and look forward to telling you all about my improved performances

I know Wayne does get a little water in the hull, I think it was also coming from leaking spin outs, the boats got a pump in each side from the previous owners.
Installation of pumps would also help in the event of fat friends breaking the covers
