4-107

so, since we have been in no rush, we've putted along at about 4.5-5 knots, getting fuel useage of 1/2 gal per hour. not too shabby! Reggie

It does sound pretty good. I calculated /Celtic Naut's/ 4-107 at .8 gallons at 6 kts. I had no idea what RPM I was running at since there isn't a gauge yet and since the old prop was severely over pitched to thepoint I couldn't make 2000 (by ear) before it bogged the motor. (I set the throttle to "just before bogging and belching smoke" when I calculated my fuel). I have already replaced the old 16x16 with a 16x10 but haven't had the opportunity to check it out. So all my numbers are going to change when I install gauges etc. I should get similar performance even though we're a little bigger. What RPM are you running at?
