 The 13hp surprised me
So i took my new LT out today to try it out i am waiting for a new prop but tryed it with the 9x7 on it and with me the old lady and the dog it pushed pretty good it wasnt winning any races but it was just shy of gettin on step so i am really excited to try out the new prop but damn is that thing a bear to handle

 Re: The 13hp surprised me
ya sitting down was ok not to bad but it was hard to get the prop up to the sirface to attempt to surface drive the prop but standing up was next to impossible. so im gunna make a handle for it and hopefully with the 8x4 it will be easier to handle and steer

 Re: The 13hp surprised me
It's a little tough to run at first, but your gunna learn the "so thats how that works" and "I dont need to do that again" 's of the motor. They are way easier to run standing up, especially when you need to get down with it so I would advise against a new tiller.

 Re: The 13hp surprised me
I don't mean a new tiller handle just a grab bar because when I try to turn it just goes on its own and wants to pull ne or push me I need a bar to hold on to any cheap solutions yal can think of also yal think the motor will be easier to handle with a new prop ?

 Re: The 13hp surprised me
well put the new prop on and it ran and HANDLED a lot better just think i should be getting a few more mphs out of it it wouls attept to get on plane then not. i found the sweet spot but it seemed to be deeper in the weater when i tried to push down on the tiller it would slow down when i tried to bring it up to the surface. anybodu got any tips for squeezin any more juice out of her maybe foolin with the governor or something like that will the cav plate make for better spped with adjustment
