Well done. Mike
Hi Ray. A little feedback on the prop tune you did for me after we took the boat out this past winter. My issue was never being able to achieve rated RPM at WOT. The Cummins QSD which we have in our pocket trawler is rated at 150hp @ 4,000RPM. The original prop size was 17 X 15 which I had reduced to 17 X 14 ( at least that was what it was to have been). Very little change in the RPM. Lived with that for a couple of years then brought it too your shop. You analysis showed we should have been at 13.2 which you tuned it to. Results: This past Friday on a post winter shakedown run I hit 4,060 into the wind. That was, of course, with only me no water in tank and holding tank empty, but .... that was a first for the boat. Well done. Mike

Smoke Free At Last!
I took a set of props (26") to Ray to be checked. They are for a pair of Detroit 692 (ddec) diesels. I was having issues with smoke - A Lot of Smoke! They checked the props and found out they were 2 inches out of pitch = pretty extreme. They got them back into the right pitch and what a difference. The engines no longer smoke; they turn up 200 RPMs as predicted. Everything was right on and exactly as forecasted. Could not have predicted a better outcome. (My Yacht Club Friends have also noticed the Smoke-Free improvement) Thank You, Mike M. August 2015

AMAZING RESULTS!! SMOOTH RIDE!!
As an avid barefoot water skier on a small lake, I damage my prop a lot. As a result of the repairs, the diameter of the prop has gotten considerably smaller over time which has lead to reduced top-end speed and caused motor over-revving. After consulting with Ray at NorthCoast Prop Tech, I decided to add an inch of pitch to the prop. The results were AMAZING! The boat will ski me at 42 MPH with the motor at about 100 RPM under the red line. In addition, the prop (and boat) is very smooth at all speeds. It has never felt this smooth! Thanks Ray! Dave B.

Lost Prop
This review was long over due. I lost my Port prop in the Cuyahoga river this past
summer 2018. It was an odd size & no one had a match. After talking with Ray he
checked around & found a solution in no time. He had me back in service within a
week. After owning boats for over 30 years & obviously having props balanced &
redone I have never had such quick & friendly support. It may have been a bit of a
ride but the pricing & services was well worth it. I know I will never use anyone
else again the trip was well worth it.Thank you Ray & North Coast Prop Captain Don
