I had to replace my housing and prop shaft a month ago. When I got it back I lost my top end speed (was 70-73), now I can't get to 70. I am using a different prop, but it is a brand new power tech, same as I had previously. Only other thing different is I'm using the 2-part thrust washer now, was using the single piece prior. I am still running in the same RPM range before the work was done, no loss there.

Sounds like the prop....how could the washer affect it? Don't know..

Just wanted to cover everything...its the same prop, just new. never had any work done to old prop.Comment

Do you have the old prop for testing?Comment
-
yep, I would put the old one back on just to see what happens.
you said when you got it back, does this mean you did not do the work?
Could someone that did the work put in different gears?Comment

The old prop was a little jacked...what started this was hitting something and it knocked off my skeg, bent my prop shaft, and bent a blade on my prop. the prop is in for repairs right now. The prop I'm using now is the same brand/model...new.Last edited by kmswiber; 04-18-2017, 09:09 AM.Comment

ask them if they used the same gears
maybe different drag from new housing
being a different prop, that maybe the only reasonComment
