    When I covered that gap with my black "tincan ring" it was a huge benefit for takeoff. I have also those big holes above A/V plate helping too. Without those mods it was kind of a struggle to get on plane, especially with 2 person.

    Because of excessive prop cavitation, right?

    I got exactly the same problem with srx, terrible holeshot, takes ages to get on plane and no chance with 2 people in the boat.

    have you seen some of the cups made for props that turn them into semi through hubs ?
    I would like to have one of these made to see how the srx would then behave.

    I have forgot who made them

    here is the original special thrust washer that came with omc silver streak 13 3/4 x 23 .
    I think someone on here sent me this pic or might have been on the cream and try forum.
    never seen one in the flesh though, this were supposed to make the pull away good and not effect top end. ?
    would not take much to make one of these up.

    these are not mine ron, wish they were they are just pics ive managed to get from people on the internet etc.

    dont see why they would be hard to make though, especially the thrust washer for the srx that would be very simple to make.
    quick run up on a lathe to make the washer and then either drill it out or mill it out..

    surprised hill marine dont make these, especially with your cleaver solid hubs.

    if you had a spare ordinary thrust washer could simply add the ring to it, it can be fairly deep too as there is plenty of room to play with it.

    if you have a drilled exhaust or a snout then no need for these..

    The long hub/thrust washer with the slits is a very good idea, can let people have the choice with just the one prop.
