Been a while since I've been on here....
I'm curious...how high is the motor off the transom with the jack plate? If the setting is too high on the plate, ventilation will happen often. Now...while trimmed out and trying to turn, a good set up would require you to trim in so the rig can carve into the water without blowing out on a moderate turn.
I'd say your rig should be getting close to mid 50's. The tempest is a good prop, so the only thing I can think of as to why it would be blowing out on you is motor height. If you can lower the plate and test (assuming it is a manual plate and not electric or hydraulic) and see how it works, then continue to move it down until you find a spot that is comfortable for your preferred way of running.
Another prop to consider if you are unhappy with the tempest is to try a raker 2 (made by BRP) in that 24 pitch. Another option would be the RX3 which has the ability to adjust vent holes. The raker is designed for high motor heights which might be of benefit to you on your current set up.
Sorry I didn't get to this earlier. |
