For UV protection , not so much for keeping it dry, I use a white ”fitted”, the kind with elastic, twin bed sheet, WalMart, 5 dollars….if you’re worried about keeping it dry get the one for bed wetters.

What model number do you have?

Maybe a little tall. And a degree or two can make a world of difference. Just my 2 cents for reference when I ran a 155 OE pump behind my 898, charging Zeel, PFP, 180 domes, I ran a 6/12 and that was about all it wanted. When I went to a Maxx mag 155 I was able to run a 7/12 thin blade/long...

What prop are you running?

At least your guy helps, my guy just watches….

Just curious, did your plug read change after going to the taller prop?

Excellent write up! Do continue! I’m going to use my current build as an example. I intentionally started with what’s probably too low of a pitch for the reasons you pointed out. So, in the chase for the Holy Grail of Ultimate power increasing pitch would be the next step. If you’re on the pipe...

I ordered 2 sets of these castors on Ebay and when I bitched about the rust on one set he sent me another for 1/2 off, letting me keep all 3 sets.

A couple of new carts to the collection. I grabbed these 4" stainless square tube drops on a job way back before covid figuring I'd make something out of them. Here's Echo and Foxtrot. Sort of a brain exercise, I didn't want to weld and wanted something sturdy.....

When I've got holding onto it under control, lol, I'll get some pics!

Maiden Voyage! Finally got it wet! First time I ever rode a 1200, and ahhhh, it was quite exhilarating, lol, to say the least. Fortunately I got a LOT of good advice that I took. Big thanks to Tony @ Tigercraft, his specs are spot on! The only deviation from what he recommended, I'm running an...
