Holy crap, good thing you can bend the rear tab

I fought that motor every second for 32 miles yesterday. Apparently I have to bend the tab ot a bit more.

My old 11x10 prop with this worked flawlessly.

The new BB puts a lot more torque on the handle.

At 3850rpm running 22.3 with 3 of us and a fishing load - I had the football against my hip just to manage the torque.






Cool story bro?

I just went from an 11x10 to a big blade on my 23. I notice a difference to! Hit 20.7 with 3 guys and w loaded down beer coolers. I also noticed a difference in my rpms also.

Thats amazing for a 23hp btw

Cudos

Did your rpms drop when u swapped up to the bb? Just curious. Mine sounded like I was tagging a rev limiter at 4200-4300 but before I could pull around 4700 with the 11x10. I did swap a coil when I swapped prop but according to MB it's the only coil they offer..

I do remember getting better speeds with 11x10 with close to the same load

I haven't tried that actually. ..
My 11x10 is a load carrying prop but it has a few rock dents in it that require fixing. Calling the prop shop in town to inquire about pricing.
If I recall, I would rev limit at 4000 rpms with the 11x10
Was running 3860 for best speeds with the BB and the load this last weekend.
The 11x10 was solo running.

No I haven't ramped up my rpms yet.
Leaving good enough alone for the minute

I'm gonna throw my 11x10 back on and run it and report back.

My stock 35 mudbuddy with a Big Blade prop had a lot of tiller torque when I first got it. I bent the tab on the skeg a little at a time till I got it where there was none. I bent it a total of 1 inch more than it came with from the factory. Made sure to bend it in the original crease
