I did some looking and the range of possible lakes is 6-8000 feet, but around 7 is the most common. I’ll report back as soon as I have some hard rpm data.

If they can do it I’ll have them repitch one for a spare. I talked to them yesterday and they can move up or down some, but not several pitches.

I’m good with the performance, these lakes are smaller and runs won’t be long like what I’m used to. I hope a can get just a little performance back. Hole shot was fine, on the top end it took forever to wind up to max rpms. For now, I just want the rpms in the acceptable range. I will for sure...

Thanks Dave, I’ll look there once I get a goal for pitch.

Good info, I appreciate it. I wish I had the tach operational so I had hard data, I suspect that it will be more than a minor pitch tweak and be as you describe. Thanks!

Thanks for the second!

Took the snow goose out yesterday for a quick fishing trip and found out that 7000 feet elevation results in a dramatic impact on motor power. My F40, which at sea level runs with a light hunting/heavy fishing load at 32 mph - ran with a similar load yesterday at 22 mph max. My tach battery was...

It's all good, fun to get some paint on it. I'd cut those outer strakes a little shorter, they may catch decoy lines. :) One thing about a flat bow transom that I never liked is that they tend to push a decoy along when you run into them, rather than going down one side, but a fairly small thing.

Omg, looks good!

I genuinely don't know, I'm looking at them now thinking of adding one for slow speed trout trolling on mountain lakes here.

What Newport has a digital controller? I'm looking at transom mount trolling motors and not seeing one. T

Yeah, that is a good point, I really like phenolic microballoons and maple flour. Getting the maple content up makes it easier to move around for me the putty is smoother and pulls out better (and makes it tougher, but harder to sand). Very few do a fairing job on these boats with a long board...

Looks good, I bet that was a pain working upside down to put those screws in. :)

Sounds good, thanks.

I've suffered with a crushed stone floor in the barn here, but I'm putting concrete in the WY building. SOOOOO, I'm looking to upgrade my stuff like that. I assume an engine hoist would be an ideal way to deal with an outboard in the 10-50 hp range? I've always used a hoist off a rafter.
