My question is can it actually pull this prop in smooth water? Should I open the strut hole and raise it higher? I don't want to adversely effect the handling but raising it too high just to spin a bigger prop.
The boat is all stock and I am told it should be able to pull it and to check the setup. I brought the strut up as high as it would go, which is only about 1/8', if that from where it was and it helped a little, but still nowhere near what it should be. The motor will not pull it and it never unloads- unless I am making a wide right turn, then it starts to unload and haul butt- until I straighten out again and then it slows back down. OK, it was recommended to me to run a 7015/3 prop on my BJ55 so I got one and tried it out.
