 2013 1854 CC PD Gen 3 LU with EFI Anyone have a 2013 1854 CC PD Gen 3 LU with EFI? If so, I was wondering what kind of speeds you are getting. I average typically 24-25mph consistently. Thought I would get more speed out of the rig than what I am seeing.

Re: 2013 1854 CC PD Gen 3 LU with EFI What load you have in the boat? I would think empty you should be in the 27-28 range, and with 2-3 people and gear about 24-25...

Re: 2013 1854 CC PD Gen 3 LU with EFI I guess that could be the problem. I've never really ran it light. I am usually with 10-12 gal of gas, troll motor, 2 batteries, and my bench seat. Still think I should be moving more than 24-25

Re: 2013 1854 CC PD Gen 3 LU with EFI That is still considered light. 2/3 people is when it should start slowing down.

Re: 2013 1854 CC PD Gen 3 LU with EFI I think that is a light load too. That's why I think I should be going faster. With a heavy load, I am still doing 22-23, not much slower. Just thought with new LU, 3 blade prop, EFI, etc that I would be going better than that.

Re: 2013 1854 CC PD Gen 3 LU with EFI I assume you have one of the first g3 Lu's with the original prop?

Re: 2013 1854 CC PD Gen 3 LU with EFI I talked to Kp last week and with their latest prop improvements, they had a 1754 center console at 30+ with a stock motor (not including efi).

Re: 2013 1854 CC PD Gen 3 LU with EFI I do have the original 3 blade prop that came with the lower unit. Is there a newer 3 blade that I don't know about? I also have the newer skeg with the larger opening for lilies, mud, etc. This is running at 4400-4500 rpm

Re: 2013 1854 CC PD Gen 3 LU with EFI I've found the 3 blades are slower

Re: 2013 1854 CC PD Gen 3 LU with EFI Is there a big difference in vibration switching over to the 3 blade from the 2?
