Sport 40 Pipe Length.

[Ray Sametz]

Start at 10 and 3 daughters and go shorter from there. OMHO

That's a small prop for a sport 40, step up to a x448,x450 2 blade run the pipe at 9 3/4 to start and lengthen until desired speed is achieved. Like Anthony said reduce water flow head temp should be about 140-160 when returned to shore after 6 laps WOT.

Who are you telling they are running Too Small of a prop?

I was trying to figure that out earlier. A 648, and 450 is bigger then a 448.

 

[anthony_marquart]

648 = 48mm 1.6 pitch.. 450=50mm and 1.4 pitch.. 6 one half dozen the other.. depends what the boat like I suppose..

My set up is a Phil Thomas with a CMB and a Andy Brown parabolic runs great at that length

Ditto!! Around 10-1/2" with a 450

 

[anthony_marquart]

holly smokes.. Ill be trying my setup about and inch longer for sure.. we'll see..

 

[TimothyJones]

I always liked being able to get on the pipe with ease, Im sure I could go shorter than 10-1/2". But didn't want to mess with the heat race drivability.

Exactly why I don't like running the pipe too short.

Sam you be right in there at 10-1/4 with the 450 i run the three blade try both

 

[Samuel Hagan JR]

I'm gonna have to try a 3 blade 450. I seen Phil run one on his and it's pretty damn quick. I got a 452/2 blade I'm gonna try also. I just need Spring to get here.

 

[anthony_marquart]

looking at the weather.. Ill be able to test again in 10 days.. mid 50' and sun coming back.. 448, 450, Sholand 450, macspipe / AA pipe.. CG moved a touch forward.,.. still alot to dial in..

 

[Samuel Hagan JR]

I got some good 450 numbers for yeah. I'll post them tonight when I get home.

 

[Samuel Hagan JR]

Here is the numbers on a 450/2 that worked best for me.

4.50" of Cup

3.42" of pitch

Reduced to 48.50 Diameter.

With a Barr- Cut.

 

[Robert Pickard]

The 450 i am running is stock sharpened and balanced

Shoboat did the prop.

 

[anthony_marquart]

I have a very similar prop from MS

 

[Samuel Hagan JR]

I've got 2 diffrent 450/2 props. I have a 452/2 I'm going to try out.
