Thanks, does your tempest give better lift than the fury? Feel like the Fury is not getting boat high enough while running at WOT.

Thanks

Here is what I ordered for my Eyra, hope it helps.

I ordered the darker grey carpet, it’s not as dark as the boat builder shows. A buddy of mine got the light grey carpet, shows everything!

Tried to load picture of boat so you could see carpet but it won’t go through

I was running a 26p fury on my old Cougar and went to a 27p Tempest plus, same rpms as wheelman stated above with the 2 strokes. I didn’t lose much if anything out of the hole but picked up 2-3 mph on top end, lowered motor 1/8 inch on jackplate. Prop man back home said Tempest is better choice on the heavier boats. My new boat has 4 stroke, they are geared different and torque curve is different so I’m getting rid of my 27 tempest will probably go with 24 tempest (24 fury now) after getting feedback from several folks.

thanks for feedback BCB, the 24 fury is right on the money on my Eyra with 4 stroke, what was 2nd choice? Looking for backup. Glen11 Have you tried lowering the motor on jack plate? I have had a Pantera classic, a Cougar and now an Eyra and all 3 where easy to drive in the 60s. If you are running 5600 rpms you should be in low/mid 70s depending on setup, the Eyra hull is pretty fast and nimble. Everyone I know running 250 pro xs 2 strokes are running 26 fury’s, 26 or 27 Tempest. One friend runs a 25 fury on his Puma in dog days of summer, he has power poles and carries everything but kitchen sink with him!

Appreciate the info guys!

Had the same issue with my old Cougar, you can buy the bushings that are in the deck and replace them. You have to break the old bushings out with hammer and chisel, took me 30 minutes or so to change both of mine.

[Randal]

Hacksaw blade good idea, the first bushing I replaced had slop in it so I had to break it out too. When I ordered the second set of bushings (the right ones) I put them on pedestals and checked their fit before I installed them.

[Randal]

Roger thanks.

[Randal]

The seat was in the down/locked position when it broke, the boat was being trailered at approximately 60 mph so it had nothing to do with knowledge of operation.

[Randal]

My 22 Eyra came with a 24 Fury and runs right at 6200 rpm’s with hydraulic Jack plate set on 5/6 depending on water, I bought a 25 tempest plus as a spare and it runs 2-3 mph faster and hole shot is still very good with Jack plate at 4/5. The fury is better at cruising speeds/ low rpm’s, the tempest performs better at top end, it has more lift.
