2) DEMO PROP PROGRAM;
Demo prop program requires deposit equal to price of propeller.
You can test a variety of propellers and sizes; one propeller at a time.
Once you have found the correct propeller for your needs, we will provide you with the new propeller.
If a demo propeller shows damage, including nicked or grazed blade edges then the standard repair rate will be charged.
If you do not purchase a propeller from PRO BOATS, a $50.00 service charge will be accessed and remainder of deposit will be refunded.
3) BASIC PROP TESTS:
Whether you are looking at a prop for top speed, wakeboard /skiing or general boating;
two things are important with all applications:
1) #1 PERIOD is WOT (engine RPM at wide open throttle) most engines have a 400 to 500RPM window at maximum RPM. Example: Power Band @ WOT = 4500 to 5000RPM; this means, engine requires @ WOT 4500RPM minimum when boat has a full load and a maximum RPM of 5000 with a minimum load ( 1 to 2 people and less than a half tank of fuel).
Wide open throttle maximum RPM range must be able to be reached with any propeller used under any application.
2) Get boat up on Plane Time: How fast can the boat get up on plane. This especially important for skiing and wakeboarding.
TESTS:
NOTE: Load boat @ 2-persons maximum and ½ tank or less of fuel.
1) On-Plane test: What RPM does engine rev-up to before boat starts moving?
2) On-Plane test: What is time to get boat up on full plane? How many seconds?
NOTE: Do two tests of each, one throttling fast from idle to WOT
and one rolling on throttle to ¾+ throttle position.
3) Wide Open Throttle test: What RPM does engine have @ WOT?
NOTE: Run maximum RPM for at least 10 seconds. Set drive trim, trim tabs for
maximum boat lift to give maximum RPM and boat speed.
4) 1/4 throttle or 2500RPM to WOT test: Does boat accelerate easily?
Does prop slip/break loose (RPM goes up fast then stops)?
5) Easy turns test: Take easy turns at ½ throttle. Does boat handle to water?
Does prop spin/ break loose?
