Ok , got a new prop on the Norma Jean 2
22 C dory cruiser.
It now runs 23 mph wide open and trim tabs down 57k rpm
Trim tabs down brings the nose way down in the front.
My learning curve, never had trim tabs before.
Think I will stick with the Honda 90 for at lease another years

Running with the tabs full down will reduce the top speed. You only put the tabs down far enough to get a decent ride in the chop. On calm water you may not need them much (depends on how your boat is loaded). My tabs are normally about 60% extended when I need them.
Your top speed of 23 at WOT is still a bit low compared to my CD22 with a Honda 90, but maybe you are carrying more weight. |
