1979 Fish Natique question Printed From: CorrectCraftFan.com Category: Repairs and Maintenance Forum Name: Engine Repair Forum Discription: Engine problems and solutions URL: http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47825 Printed Date: May-14-2024 at 1:22am Topic: 1979 Fish Natique question Posted By: TJ59 Subject: 1979 Fish Natique question Date Posted: July-28-2019 at 12:05pm I have a 79 FN with 454 and it runs pretty darn good but I don't think I'm propped right ... It's a 14 by 11 ( not sure brand or pitch ) cruising speed 25 mph at 3100 rpm .. i can get it up to 29 mph with light load at 3,9oo rpm . I can't get much more speed than that regardless of rpm . I never tried more than 4500 RPMs for 10 seconds... It gets out of the water very quickly.. 1/4 foot waves were behind me. It seems to struggle to build up speed. Please give opinions. Thank you... PS . I also own a 13 x 15 prop as well... Haven't tried it .. Both props are 3 blade of course ....
