  2. Think of it as the difference between a tractor and a car. The 4 blade will move more water meaning heavy loads can be negated so if you load up for camping, pull toys or have 4 adults they make it so you can accelerate to planing speed easier and then back off to get better fuel economy then 4 blades are preferred. If you run light and are not pulling toys then the 3 blade is preferred because you can increase top end and also economy by backing off the rpm's. The backing of of the rpm's is tricky because if you have a loaded boat and a 3 bladed prop the amount you can back off is less than if it is a lightly loaded boat. The act of having a blade cupped which accelerates the water off the tip can account for a higher top end as well. The material the prop is made of also affects the pitch needed , the stiffer the material like Stainless Steel the less flex so the more efficient it is. For my 150 HP I have a 3 blade cupped S.S. prop because usually I have only 2 people in the boat. Art

  3. Dog out of hole, blowing out are all just hard on your engine. The correct prop should plane your boat at max operating weight and top speed should be just below your max rpm.

  4. The "bangs" are torque converter lock up.. when you don't want it, usually after a quick throttle hit and back off. My F150 almost broke my back a few times, but the latest reprogram fixed it all up. Break her in and come first service see what they need to do.

  5. I hope you mean all stores except. And not all businesses or the stores will run out of food in days. Trucking companies need to move the food and gas. Someone need to produce the fuel someone needs to make the food and so on

  7. Safe travels Mr Cliff. My parents were to head to FLA on Friday and they have friends there that are now heading home and told my parents they can use the house if they want to chance it. My parents are not chancing it and staying home.

  8. Well, we have decided to head for home early Tuesday morning, if we are going to get it it will be a lot easier to deal with it there than here. Trudeau announced that closing the borders is a possibility, it's not worth taking the chance.

  9. Next time leave the genny empty and keep the gas in the gas can without the stabilizer. Then you can dump it in your truck and put fresh gas in the standby gas can.

  10. Thank you all. Hey G, this one has the 10 speed tranny in it. As for wind noise, nothing here (yet) and I was driving at 93Kph for a while and there was come crazy cross winds blowing but it was quiet. My 2017 Cruze Hatchback had a LOT of wind noise too. My plans trailer tow wise is it will tow a boat and or a small enclosed trailer for a track bike. Not too sure on a camper in my new future but one never knows...
