That little floor vibration you get with the 4 blade it TOTALLY gone with 5 blades. I tried a 6 blade once and thought my steering broke the boat would "walk up" on the blades

Adapters

Homemade from broken #6 shaft

BOATMAN302 made them for his when he had it and he already had two sets of 19 spline wheels so I bought them from him

For tight turns don't drop the drives. Drop the inside tab and it will pull you right around.

Thanks! For semi tight turns I just throttle back the outside engine so as that prop comes out of the water some it doesn't allow the engine to over Spin!
