Prop Cavitation during break in period

[Jeff Reynolds]

I notice frequent prop cavitation while breaking in my new outdrive. I remember breaking in the Mrec. when the boat was new, it seems like I may have had an excessive amount of cavitation then ( 1995 ).

I have a new 21" prop on a 1.84r drive 4.3L motor. Is it possible that the power translation is so positive that it just clearly breaks loose in almost all acceleration and turns at mid speeds or quick acceleratoins ?

do I have an outdrive problem ?

Jeff,

Did the tag on the upper unit say that it was a 1.84 upper? If you give me the serial number I can verify it just to be sure.

Also, you said you have a new prop. Is it a new prop that you bought for the new drive or did you also use this prop on your old drive? If it is a new prop for this drive, then I would try the old prop to see if that makes a difference.
