55 Nordhavn Case
Study
When I bought my boat, Nordhavn had not perfected the correct prop
size for the new 55’s with a John Deere engine. Being hull number
2 required numerous tries by the commissioning team. I ended up with
a prop that would work and allow the engine to reach close to its
correct rpm. This prop ended up being a 38”d x 34”p. But
I was convinced that I was not getting the performance or the economy
as advertised by Nordhavn. This is what started the search that led
me to Troy at Wildcat Props.
Starboard RH Prop
Here you
will find the run data after my new prop was installed. I am very
pleased with the results. I now run at a slower RPM and burn less
fuel or run the same RPM and go faster.
Veem Propellers
I got my boat back in the water after you fixed
my props and it is perfect.
New Wheel for Knock Na Shee
Here you will find some pictures of the new wheel
after it was installed on Knock Na Shee.
ZF Wheels Case Study
The ZF wheels ended up working great for my rig.
I ran her a little easier all summer kind of experimenting with the
efficiency at different RPMs and found that I could still maintain
a nice cruise of 27-28 and only burn 54 gph at 1750 or so.
