Race Setup
With many people racing their EV’s, we have some great setup tips.
The EV should be able to handle a stock or mild Zenoah
and turn tight on the buoys…
Stinger-
Set the centerline of the prop shaft 1/2 inch above the bottom of the hull.
This allows the boat to settle in the water a little, calming it down.
Set the stinger level with the bottom of the boat.
Trim this down if the nose runs high in the straights.
Trim Tabs-
Set all tabs straight. Adjust RH inner tab to make hull ride level (side to side, not
leaning)
Make the RH outer tab the same as the inner, then adjust down to tighten right turns.
Adjust LH inner so that hull chine walks slightly in the straights.
Adjust LH outer for best left turns.
Try different props-
We like the Zipp 470, Zipp 670, Prather 270, 275 or Octura X670 for a stock engine.
Try different props to get the handling you want.
The Easy Vee responds well to small 3 blade props like 6518 and 2514.
Pull the pipe in-
Once you get the boat handling the way you want, pull the tuned pipe in by 1/8 inch
increments. If the engine seems to “bog” going into, or out of turns, pull the pipe out
slightly until it doesn’t.
