My water gauge on my 1994 440 is pegged "full" no matter what is in the tank. When I disconnect either lead wire the gauge goes to over "full"....
Probably a stupid question but what exactly is considered "Hull Speed" ?? I have a 1994 440 and have gone round and round on what speed I should...
How are you defining "hull speed" ??
To the best of my knowledge they are factory spec props.......I'll have to look at my notes for exact size. I agree with backing off the...
OK.......My diesel guy came over and checked my throttle linkage and Cat parameters. The engines should do 3000rpm unloaded and 2800 loaded. We...
I agree with the previous reply in regards to the "published" data being a bit exaggerated....I have been racking my head against the wall trying...
Thanks...I will call my diesel guy today. I also plan on running the boat Friday so I will check the "unloaded" RPM's.......As you can tell...
Interesting.......I'll check with my diesel guy before I run them up in neutral I am a bit reluctant to go full throttle when not in gear. Is it...
Interesting thought Here is one for you guys.......I contacted a prop shop and their suggestion as how to check out if my props were the correct...

Thanks again.........If I end up needing bigger props what am I up against for cost?? I assume a good prop shop through their calculations will...
This may not be the thread to do this but I just wanted to say thanks to all of you that have given me your time and info with my Carver issues....
I wish I had flow meters.......no such luck. I did look at Cat's specs and came up with what the different gal/hr are suppose to be for the...
Thanks for the numbers.........I'm not sure what to make of the slippage %. What is typical ?? My thought on the 2400 vs 12 kt issue is IF I...
Thanks again......the transmissions are ZF with a 2.04 : 1 ratio. Exactly what is a digital prop scan ??
One more Here is another pic.......I can't verify when it was actually taken. It was before I purchased the boat..... [ATTACH]
pictures....... Here are a couple of pics.....I know they don't show a great side view, but it's all I have at this point. I will post a better...
One more thing.......While I am running at higher rpms there is water that "burbles" on the aft part of the swimstep and gets the dinghy cover...
