I am taking delivery on a new Triton TR21XDC on the 15th of Feb.  Has a 225 Optimax on Jack Plate and a 4 blade stainless prop.  Can anyone send me a link to explain how to "Tweak" it to get the most speed out of it.

Without really know your complete setup I can't really say much.

Two things that do come to mind are Trim extenders and a Tempest Prop. The 4 blade (Trophy) prop will handle better, but the 3 blade Tempest will give you a little more speed.

Triton 21, I'd take JT's advise, he's right on the money.  Also, that Trophy is going to dial up your RPM's when your breaking in a new motor, and let me tell you 10 hours is a long time.  

A 27 degree pitch Tempest is probably a better choice, after all you wouldn't put 13" rims on your tow vehicle, right?  Oh, and congradulations on your new boat!  JB

Thanks JTB & JB.  This gives me a starting point.  I found a lot on Jack Plate adjustment on the web but not much on props.  If it is OK I will be picking your brains when I get started on my quest.  Thanks again.

Glad we could be of some assistance.

Just remember, Tritons like the jackplate set high. Having it lower will reduce

the amount of Chine walk only because it greatly reduces your speed. If you set it high you will have to "drive" your Triton but you will see a lot more speed. Just be sure to keep a close eye on your H2O PSI gauge. Don't let it get to low. I think mine stays around 15-18 psi, but you can go a little bit lower.

Thanks jt.  I had a Bullet so I know all about chine walk.  Am getting older so decided to go from a sports car to a "Rolls Royce".  LOL

LOL

Nice Work
