JDP Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 When you say sea trials, is this just testing the rib or are you testing your rib ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribcraft sea trial all their new boats that are 5.85m and above, before handover to the customer ......................I could have joined them but I was busy that day. During the trials they found that it was over propped with the standard 3 blade SS prop, so Mercury sent them a couple of 4 blade Revolution 4 props to try as that particular prop was designed for that style of boat ............ I am pretty careful with it as the REV4 props are £650 each ............. The only other issue was large rooster trails from the transducers ............ Garmin provided diffusers and angle adjustments to overcome the problem ............. Edited October 28, 2020 by GPSguru JDP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The run down to the Skerries passes some stunning coastline. Apart from Plaice by the bucket load, there are a number of species on the Banks ............
