Re: 1985 express cruiser transmission ratio
10.5 ? Do mean 10 meter ? They made a 10 meter express , amid cabin (some confusr the two ) 2 aft cabins . They also made a 10.8 sedan and in later years a 10.8 express . Need to know what you have for sure diffrent ratios and props used on the diffrent models . What size props do you have now ? What rpms are you getting wide open ? Adding cup will lower rpm .

If you contact Bob at Beacon with you hull numbers , he can tell you I have some info but not sure what you have I asume the 10.5 is a typo .
