I have a Cougar Marine made boat the Genesis model, with the identical plate on my motor. My hole shot is fantastic, really compacts the water around the prop from the tunnel. I highly recommend them to everyone I meet.
I took it out again to test it with my prop which is now 3x14x21 Suzuki which was originally a 23 pitch prop. I hit 40.8 mph at 6150 yesterday with 2 people on board and a full tank of gas. Holeshot was still great although I didn't time it.
Why do you think you got so much more prop slip? I would have guessed you would get less slip with that huge cav plate helping to keep water packed around the prop...
Sorry I didnt see your message. I really think a lot of the slip was because of the substantial increase in wind on the testing day after install. With as great of increase in holeshot as I had it was the only thing I could think of.
@@bayboatbassin2426 no , it is an anti VENTILATION plate. Cavitation is from water BOILING on the front of the prop blades, not air coming from the surface.
Although you are correct, Ive never known most folks to use the proper term, so using the correct term would probably cause more confusion. But I worked out a solution, I'll use the full name of the product it is the Cougar Marine USA - "Capture Cavitation Plate." Besides that how'd you like the video? If that's the worst I did it must be good, right?
