Neutral (prop points straight back)
This refers to the angle of the prop shaft in relation to the
bottom of the hull. When cutting through the water, the prop
produces both thrust and lift. Thrust generates forward
movement while lift causes the back of the boat to rise
upward. Prop thrust and lift are affected by shape, angle,
and size of the prop blades.
Prop angle adjustment is controlled by moving the strut
forward or back in the strut mounting bracket. Pushing the
strut forward creates “negative” prop angle and will increase
the amount of lift because it increases the prop depth. Pulling
the strut blade back in the mounting bracket creates “positive”
prop angle. This decreases depth and lift. A “neutral” prop
angle reduces the effect of prop lift.

For best performance use fuel specifi cally formulated for
nitro marine engines. 30% to 50% nitro content fuels are
best suited for your marine engine. Please avoid operating
your marine engine using fuels formulated for R/C car use.
WARNING:
• Never free rev your marine nitro engine with the boat out of
the water. You could damage the engine.
• As a rule of thumb, you have about 2 minutes of out-of-the-
water operation before your engine starts to overheat. It is
best to get the boat into the water and underway as soon
as possible.
• Watch out for the moving prop when carrying your boat!
Never run while handling the boat.
• Never operate the engine without proper water cooling.
• Never “bench break-in” your new marine engine. It is best
to install the engine in a boat and break the engine in with
the boat in operation.

Give your Miss Vegas Deuce an
added burst of speed — as easily
as bolting on a high-quality copper-
beryllium-titanium GrimRacer metal
prop! Racer-designed and USA-
made, these are the most accurately cast metal props
available. Ultra-clean casting and true center-bore hubs
place each prop near its balance point right out of the
package. You can fi ne-tune them using less effort than
stainless steel props require — and they hold their shape
better for balancing, sharpening, and changing pitch.
