Whale tail needed.

[DWC]

Had a whale tail crack again.. Skips said it wouldn’t last forever. Looks like they were right. Anyone in town that can knock a pair out or suggest a shop?

Hit up E ticket. If it has under 18 hours on it and you put it on 3 years ago, it is probably still under warranty.

Just buy 2 of the max machine Worx ones

1 spark plug wire per motor per bank should do it.

Thank you. I’ll ring them up.

I’m more of a Vette guy.

Max Machine Worx for the WIN! I was blown away how much of a difference they made on our boat. Heavy Vee's usually take a little tab to run. After putting these things on, haven't used the tabs yet! Like MAGIC!

Before I opened this thread I thought you were looking for a whale tale for your 930, carry on...

Don.....I jus tricked up a new jigsaw and a few metal blades this week at Home Depot. We can trace the old ones and make them ourselves out in the garage. :looking:

I’m a definite believer in them. Pulled them off before we hit the water Saturday. They definitely get the boat on plane faster and with a few hundred RPM less. I’m hoping to stay with the same design/set-up but will hit up MMW if i can’t make it happen.

I’ll bring over some extra blades and cold ones.. Have a feeling we’ll need some.

I'm curious if they create any additional load on the drives during acceleration?

I thank you for setting this thread straight...the OP obviously was misunderstood

You want the ones with the bends in them to match the casting draft on the outdrive. Otherwise you will either crack the drive or crack the tail

I’m sure there are people way more experienced/knowledgeable that will chime in. There’s gotta be some force that’s directed to get it on plane faster. That looks force is external and hasn’t caused any issues that I know about. The fact it gets on plane faster saves the internals which is a nice bonus.

When AJ put them on I was like WTF is this crap. But I thought meh, I’ll try it out. Like I said, every straight bottom big vee ive ever run did better planning with some tab. With these on, boat hops right on plane and you can run slower speed and stay on place too. I would guess saves fuel consumption too since you’re not dragging as long before the hull breaks over. But I was blown away at the immediate difference in performance.

I would think that the stainless MMW versions would hold up better than aluminum as well.

If you really need something solid on top of your prop, why not just get a V-drive?
