[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 89513, member: 437"] That's what I'm saying. Most all props are [u]not[/u] designed to run with their blades breaking the surface. It takes a whole lot of hp with a special setup to run a surfacing prop intentionally, not your standard outboard/prop. If your standard outboard and prop is running surfaced, it is not set up properly and will have very poor performance, which you are experiencing. Also, you have to have water pickups mounted extremely low on the foot for surfacing or your pump is sucking more air than your prop is. [/QUOTE]
