- 1997 Mainship 34 Motor Yacht
Wondering if anyone out there that has or had an older Mainship 34 with the 200hp Perkins what prop size they were using. Mine appears to be a 22X24.
I'm wondering if I might be a bit over propped as WOT is around 2150 rpm and it will tend to overheat at that rpm. Heat exchangers have all been cleaned and pumps checked. Normally run boat at 1500-1800 rpms with no issues. Also I'm considering fairing the back of the keel while hauled out this winter.
Thanks everyone. FYI also this posted on yahoo vintage mainship
