Merc HP 525 question

[DaveC]

I need your help.

What is your maximum RPM at WOT and with what prop with your Merc HP 525? What type of boat and conditions?

I am just trying to get a consensus for comparison.

Thanks in advance

5300ish, 26 prop, cat 2 conquest

Help

I am trying to compare the HP 525 to mine.

I am trying to figure my next move

Thanks

I had twin 525's in a Daytona which is probably no help to you.

Also really depends on what gears you are running.

I ran 32p 5 blades with 1.36 gears at about 5350 rpms 114 mph.

It's for sale right now if you want it. And I own a Lifeline but for the life of me I can't remember who I loaned it out to.

Are you having more problems with your motor? Putting in a 525 now?

 

[DaveC]

No it runs. Just calculating how much power it doesn’t have. Lol

The results were a bit disappointing.

I’m gonna have to figure out what to do on the off-season if anything

Once you go blue you never go back...isn't that the saying?

 

[DaveC]

Fo sho

The 600 sci comes in blue. So I guess your right

Your boat with a 600 would be 90-95 m.p.h.?

 

[DWC]

Next move...?

 

[GRADS]

Just sayin'....

 

[DaveC]

Yes, yes and yes

Lol

Seems pretty simple actually

What pitch prop you able to turn? My River neighbor with a blown 25 Daytona ran a 34 Bravo 1. Other buddy 28 Bravo 1 with 525. Was hoping to see your boat out for Desert Storm.

What RPM are you getting?

 

[DaveC]

5100-5200 with 30 pitch and 5400-5500 with a 28 pitch. Both 4 blade Merc props.

I was assuming I would have more RPM but it doesn't. From what I have heard and seen this is just a tad more then a 525 and less than 600

Very sorry to hear this. I won't say anything about the engine builder, last time I did that I got threatened with everyone having his back.

 

[wet hull]

Do you have a rev limiter chip? Maybe that?

 

[DaveC]

You mean like how it never ran the RPM number and leaked water internally from day one. And how I was forced to spend $17,000 of my money "fixing" a brand new motor because it blew up.

Or how since it still won't run the RPM number that I have to spend even MORE money making it run.........

Yup, I think you are right and we should probably keep that to ourselves.

Trolling post with a trolling motor!

 

[DaveC]

I will be the last to admit it but those new trolling motors are pretty damn capable.

Especially with the new V-8's coming out. One has to give them careful consideration.

Gone are the days of under powered trolling motors that emit enough noxious smoke to choke out every mosquito within a 3 block radius. These are the real deal now.

Those trolling motor drop right out of the sky too.
