Hydromotive nose cones feature improved
acceleration, improved boat attitude and possible speed gains
of 2 to 8 MPH. High aspect ratio eliminates blow
out
Nose Cones are recommended on boats
running in the 80 MPH range to enhance propeller
efficiency and eliminate blow out. Propeller blow out
is encountered when water separates from the gear case to the point where
the distance is equal to or greater than the radius of
the propeller. MPH gains can be 2 to 6 MPH with the
right propeller set up. Bravo castings are for 1990 and
later. They come in either standard or low water
pickup designs. Low water cones are used when running
a high-X-dimension on high performance applications.
All nose cones castings are 6063-T6 and molded to
a glove like fit. This enables it to be installed with
epoxy putty. Low water nose cones require a water
passage to be machined in the lower unit (no external hoses).
