Looking to repower my 2001 282 sailfish. Was thinking of honda 250 4 strokes. any Ideas on how this would be?
I have the same boat and engines. Do the F300s cause the 272 to ride low in the water/scuppers? Are you pleased with them and any suggestions? I currently have original engines and I am hoping to avoid a re-power so any advice/experience is appreciated.Probably fine.
I have a 1998 272 and had the original 225 OX 66.
Then the 3.3L F250 Yamaha, when my port motor took a crap I sold the starboard and fouls a deal on
a pair of 2014 F300 DEC motors and love them.
250's should push your boat very decent
Can you tell me what props you running with the Suzuki’sI have a 2006 282, repower if with twin suzuki over winter. Mine is rated for 600hp
@amf282 recommended the following, my motors are not on yet, should be soonCan you tell me what props you running with the Suzuki’s
i am going to try out those tomorrow, a friend of mine lent them to me so i can try them out@amf282 recommended the following, my motors are not on yet, should be soon
How did it go?i am going to try out those tomorrow, a friend of mine lent them to me so i can try them out
will update you on the results
well ...How did it go?
hiHow did it go?
If you can over rev it with 22" pitch ( I think the range should be between 5700 and 6300) going down to 18.5" is not the answer she will over rev much easier. You may need to go to a bigger pitch like 23 or even 24". $ blades will get you up on the plane quicker but somewhat less top end than 3 blades all else equal.hi
i did another test today this time with
4x15.25x22 props
fuel tanks full 220 gal
regular load on board
2 guys on board
hole shot is not bad but not that great
WOT at 6100 rpms i got 40 knots
if i keep pushing the throttle i will over rev
i think i am right on the edge there
fuel consumption at 22 gph on each engine
should i keep them
should i still consider the 3x16x18.5 as others said and have tried
could i have a problem with the mounting hole height
iam on the 3rd hole up and the cavitation plate is just right
(the hpdis were on the 2nd hole up)
still not satisfied with the results
