Default Nose cones on TRS?

At what speed is it worth installing nose cones on a TRS?

Default Re: Nose cones on TRS?

from what i've been reading, 80mph on bravo's. but I have talked to a guy that found speed benefits on his TRS at low 70's. There are a surprising number of threads on this when I did my search last week. There was a quote from someone saying that a TRS has the hydrodynamics of a log. I am going to get some and I will post my before an after. at $94 I don't think that is to bad, and the front of my drives are all chipped up and could use the fresher look.

The hydromotive cone will carry the bow with less trim and is probably worth some speed. Also the prop slippage will decrease from about 65 and up. I would not install any nosecone unless you have external steering first they add appendage ahead of the steering pivot.
