Hi all. Just have a question that some may have some thoughts on.
On my .21 riger I was looking at the size of the flex hex coupling and just wondering if there would be any performance gains by removing some of what seems like excess material from it by machining. The part I'm refering to is the end cap part which screws on to close the jaws.
One of the former members of my club made this for me years ago and my dad made a copy of it for my newest boat and looking at the .21 size one it seems over kill. I'm running 3/16 th cable which has served the boat well with no problems.
My question is - Will it rev harder with a trim or just rev quicker? If it's too big I quess it is the same as having a larger flywheel than needed. But will this allow any more revs or just be quicker to get there( Max RPM)
Any Ideas? :huh:
