I have worked on this project, just so I would kinda know what's going on.
I read all the blogs, I even talked to my bud Dudley and we have have come
to the QUESTION OF WHY? I started out putting my made in the USA Johnson
magnetic angle locator on the hub, 0 degrees, brought the 2 blade power shift
around and checked the degree of angle at the same place twice. set the angle
at 2.5 degrees and turned on the O540. It managed about 2900 RPM'S.
Checked the angle again and it was still 2.5 degrees. All of this was done on the
right(starboard) side of the boat in the back. Moved the prop and checked it again,
everything still the same. So now here's the question, why is the degree of angle different on the port, if the prop is set at the same point when I check the degree of angle on the right?
PS when I started out on this the angle was 4 degrees different on the R & L.
with some vibration and lower RPM'S.
Hope you can help,
