prop slip

[littlejake]

Anybody know what the correct prop slip % is for a 2002 280 Powerquest Sliencer?
I want to try a few different props but want it work on paper first.

I think you have a out drive on your boat and will get more help here Out Drive Tech (http://www.***boat.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=6)

Well That Reply Was Fairly Condescending.
If You Dont Know Then Dont Say Anything...but You Dont Have To Be A Smart Ass.

I'm almost 100% he was trying to be helpfull...
You seem like you're new to the boards so I'll explain how it works, there are different forums for different types of boats, and you would probably get a more informed answer in the out-drive section.
I would guess your slip is somewhere between 15%-20%, depending on your prop and the efficiency of your hull

Um ... I don't think that he was being rude ... just prop slip calculations on a v-drive are different than on an out drive ...

I think you need to go into the bathroom and untie the knot in your underwear that has you all wadded up. That answer was not a smartass remark at all. Now this one is.

i do him an apology.
i misread the fourm
it said v-drive
i thought it said v-bottom.
i am sorry for the confusion on my part.
