    This should just die if they let it.

    I try to help those that want the help and in return its good for business. But for some people there is never going to be a win win situation.

    For those its best they go on their own journey and find their answers through their own hard work instead of mine.

    Yup thats just about clears that up ,---but wait there are two remaining questions, why could'nt Mr Wimp submit that, and you say vibration and noise?

    I did talk to a capt of a 60+ foot Pershing in Thailand and he said that the owner would trim up for max speed with a big rooster tail and he said that the whole boat would vibrate. I wonder whats making the noise and vibration?

    Dont go away Capt Bride your conversation is easy and rewarding.

    Blade slap.

    And, the propeller is not fully submerged, it is directly at the air/sea interface.

    Here comes the old argument of fixed over trimable. It is not possible to trim a boat with the surface trimable system, your not altering the angle of the prop ( tiny bit) but altering the angle of shaft and the height of the prop.

    If you want to bring the bow up you change the prop for a higher rake.

    There is only ONE postion for a surface prop and that is the centre of the prop in the water.

    I dont think a Pershing would have a 3 blader infact this had a 4.

    The Flexidrive pictures on their web site shows a overlap blades like that of a submarine meaning slap is impossible. I just forget the name of the prop.

    No Mas mine does not vibrate infact one of the best features of my system is total vibration free. I call it a system but its just a prop half way in the water.

    Ive never seen an Arneson copy , they are too complicated and it doesnt need to be.

    Its simplicity itself. It s the propeller that is the surface bit. Trouble is you cant make money out of simplicity.
