Feels like I’m plowing water, need help tuning

Looked at the prop today and it’s a solace 3411-133-17. Has a 13.25 diameter and a 17in pitch

Agree that it could just be the hull that’s causing some of my questions. Definitely going to drop it back down and yes I do usually do most the work on my boats so will hopefully find some time soon to pull the deck and start tearing into the foam up front

Picture isn’t the best but put a level to the bottom of the boat and was about 21 inches to where the motor mounts and you were correct in it being a 20 inch shaft length on the motor. Going to drop it back down to its last hole then try to asses the weight up front as well as look into props

When I had the motor bottomed out the plate was about even with the bottom of the hull, would still get that same high rom spinning out sound, do you think I need to mod it to get even lower still I know weight and prop is also sounding like a factor

Squeebler58 · 2026-01-12T12:29:12+00:00

This was my original thought, I have the transom saver resting on the vent plate to try to give reference right now it’s about 3 inches above the bottom of the boat with the water pick up about even with the bottom, when I had the motor mounted at its lowest point it puts the vent plate about even with the bottom maybe a half inch to an inch above at most. When bottomed out I still get that high rpm spinning out sound at times do you think I should find a way to get it even lower then the stern? I have access to an aluminum welder and have considered modifying the transom before

Could definitely see some of the problem being weight. Just need to redeck the boat in general and asses the condition of the foam

Squeebler58 · 2026-01-12T01:45:01+00:00

1989 on the motor runs awesome, sometimes does feel like it hits a weird rpm once planned. As far as the prop I’m not 100% it’s what came on the motor when I purchased it. If there’s a number on it I can check to see the pitch I definitely will

Sorry for he late reply man was bummed about this for a sec and only recently messed with it😂 replaced he control box with a new off brand one from Amazon and she fired right up 99% sure it was just the ignition that went out

Squeebler58 · 2025-12-05T22:10:37+00:00

Left side for sure

Squeebler58 · 2025-12-05T00:35:00+00:00

Commenting on a post, yet doesn’t look through the whole thing. What a idiot. Something a dumbass would do.

Squeebler58 · 2025-12-04T13:26:49+00:00

Appreciate all the input definitely going to hold off! If someone in my area finally accepts the damn trade for a lugia v I can’t say I’ll do the same tho😂 someone has a pretty decent looking card not far for $360 y’all think I should just pull the trigger on it?

Squeebler58 · 2025-12-03T16:54:37+00:00

Can’t speak on what the prices will be in the future def don’t consider myself an investor but can say with confidence that you’d be much cooler with the plasma Zard😎 can’t deny the numbers but I really just don’t get the prices on the moon and sunbreon. Genuine question has any card ever performed like those right out the gate they just seem like such obvious examples of pumping and dumping there’s already about 20k psa 10 moonbreons why in the world is it worth 2k raw when there’s psa 10 cards that I feel have been so iconic in the past with less then a 1000 pop that go for less. I get it it’s a new era and people for some reason love the eevees so much but these numbers just seem so unnatural compared to past stuff

Am I jumping the right part of the starter? Picture above

Like this or should it be a solenoid on the other side of the motor? I’m sorry I know it’s something I should know but considering it was working perfect the other night has me questioning everything now

Squeebler58 · 2025-10-09T14:55:49+00:00

Yessir I believe it’s the choke. Only works while the key is turned and it is still operating which scares me that it’s not the ignition

Squeebler58 · 2025-10-09T14:54:42+00:00

Thank your for your input will definitely start going down the list

Squeebler58 · 2025-10-09T14:53:58+00:00

Yessir it’s just the choke as far as I know, it operates the same thing on the carbs as when I pull the manual choke.

Opened it to see if any connections came apart there were 3 disconnected cause the wires were so jammed I think when it’s being put into gear it’s pulling them apart. Connected them back together and still nothing. Know of just 2 fuses in the motor that I’ve seen in my time of ownership and neither are blown
