Semi Cleaver

[Top Dawg]

Gonna need cup on mine. Ran it today on the 18' tunnel and it slips with very little trim. Best I got was 36.8 on gps. Then try to get more trim and she'd slip

This one only got 5300 with just me in it full fuel and 2 batteries. I'm going to try to get the rpm up by raising it a little at a time. Top speed was 33.6 and any trim passed parallel with keel it wants to ventilate. But that said the overall performance is best this far I'm thinking picking it up 1/4-1/2" will get me running perfect.

If the prop is stock, have someone put very light cup in it. Light cupping allows you to raise that semi cleaver unbelievably high.
That Yammie prop has been the best all around prop on everything we have run it on. PowerTech makes a knock off copy, it does not run as well as the original Yamaha.
The semi cleaver design is available in 14-15-16 pitch. Their 13 pitch is not the semi cleaver design.
You guys know that you can have any brand hub pushed into tht Yamaha prop. I had a Merc hub pushed into mine, have seen numerous with tohatsu/Nissan hubs in them.
It will take a bit of playing with motor height, but when you hit the sweet spot with that prop, it is nice.

The one I tried comes from a prop gu, he uses as his spare, i was surprised on how well it turns while trimmed, my round ear blades blow out if i turn as sharp as i did with Yammie prop, it's very impressive I'm going to play around with it this week and see if i can get motor height just right. Again thanks all you guys for input.
