 Re: GTR Reverse not very effective
how did i know this post would bring out the fpr cheerleaders? a pro drive would not work for what i'm looking for. I could imagine how it would go... ."oh look, frog on that bank there slam it in reverse. Ok, no prob, wait a minute while i turn this damn lower unit around. too late dummy the wave hit him and he hopped off. well at least we have plenty of beer and crown to drink.."

 Re: GTR Reverse not very effective
I am not sure what you were expecting to get out of the gtr reverse so I am not sure what you are comparing this to. Did you test drive a GTR before you bought yours and does it not perform as well or does it just not perform like you expected?
Remember the GTR is not FPR if you are in forward motion it is not going to stop instantly and be doing 15mph in reverse.
Now I own a GTR and I am not talking bad about it but you can only expect so much out of it.

 Re: GTR Reverse not very effective
Some hydro air brakes off a 727 may be ticket. Pop them babies out and you can stop on a dime and snatch dat frog up.

 Re: GTR Reverse not very effective
When your running you will obviously have it trimmed up, as you come off plane and flip it into neutral and start to slow, hit the reverse lever at this time you need to be trimming down as well to make it be more effective this gets the prop deeper into the water and will slow you down a lot faster and make your reverse propulsion a lot faster, same goes in mud there's a sweet spot when backing just have to find it...

 Re: GTR Reverse not very effective
X2 on what westend said...these motors have a big learning curve. Get some more stick time and I think you will find that spot. It took me a while to figure my reverse out also but you will get it.

 Re: GTR Reverse not very effective
Is your prop in pretty good condition? I would imagine a wore out prop wouldn't stop you as well a a new one, if it slips in forward it would probably slip more in reverse.
