New Props ACME vs MICH WHEEL

After I posted I thought who purchased the props. But if the owner gave erroneous data to the yard and the yard ordered the props and that led to the messed up “sizing” then where are we now? If I was the boat owner and gave them inaccurate performance data I would suffer the consequences. I am far from Jesus, Muhammad, et al and keenly aware of my shortcomings but dishonesty and laziness are not among them. That being said I cracked the case on a ZF transmission a couple of years ago. And they no longer made the gears which led me to changing both. An expensive proposition. I was amazed at the number of people who encouraged me to say I ran aground and give it to the insurance company. I did not.

Great. You're an ethical person. Glad we have that covered.

I think again you missed Post 32.

No need for any friction. I misread the OP’s post as “I can’t guarantee......”. That was the reason for the statements that I was open minded that I was wrong or what have you. Indeed I was wrong. The possibility of my making mistakes is the reason for all the prefacing I do. I try hard not to be offensive in disagreement. I thought I had stated my erroneous position in a way that would not offend you. Offending you was not my goal and I apologize if I did.

The post are coming so fast I am working on one post and missing the others. Please see my post number 44. No need for the sarcasm. I am starting to wonder if it is possible to have an honest disagreement on the internet not get ugly.

Are we disagreeing, or are you misreading? I don't think you can have both in this instance. You joined the conversation without reading the thread carefully, called us out for giving poor advice as to responsibility, doubled down on that call out with a declaration of your high level of ethic, and then circled back to state that you missed some posts that are coming up too fast, giving an indication that you were agreeing to be out of line with your input in spite of your high degree of ethic.

And then you want to snark off opposing views and justifiable sarcasm with, get this, sarcasm. This is not "an honest disagreement". You missed posts and facts. As the original poster has now wrapped, the yard and the prop manufacturer are going to make this right for him.

Good time to stop with the feigned victimhood from nasty internet bullies. Keep up the ethics exercises.

Yes, you did, and apology accepted. All I'm (we're) trying to do is to assist. There was nothing improper or unethical in our input or advice. The OP seems to have this all under control.

I sincerely appreciate post 48 but post 47 seems a bit of an over reaction, but despite trying to “honestly” disagree I offended you so you think I had a shot coming. It is not about victimhood. It is about how we as a society are at each other’s throats nowadays and I wonder if how we behave on the internet is part of that. That is why I thought I made a legitimate effort to respectfully disagree with what I erroneously believed you were recommending. Once again I apologize to you and the forum for wasting everyone’s time.

Lol, Well put.
MBevins, sounds like you got a little to much prop for your boat...I've delt with ACME directly for sizing my props. You can call them or just fill out their questionnaire for them to size your props on the ACME web sight. Just for your own info and to keep your yard on the same page....

Thru this thread I read 671TIs. From J&T, I assumed TIBs but not sure now.

Hey MBevins, Ya want to go faster? What HP tune do you have? or just give me a 671 serial number.

MBevins

For crap & giggles, when was the last time the secondary filters were replaced?

No, When the boat is in slings, those fuel tanks really get extra sloshing about.
If your going to log some runs, your going to want all supper dupper while doing so anyway.

Maybe the same tank, maybe not. I'm just trying to be thorough.

So what is the HP tune?
