It's a Y wind motor so 15 degrees would be fine. That's what I use.

Here is the thing...
I send a mail at TPPOWER and im asking for the timing for this motor and the answer was " We always suggest zero timing for all of our motors. You could set low timing 0-5 degree"
And that answer confused me...
I know that the Y motor starts timing from 10 degree and more

I receive second email from Tppower and says:

I confirmed with our engineer who is also a boater. He insisted that he use 0 degree for both D and Y winding. He said it is a bias saying that Y motor likes high degree. But you can try to set it higher to see whether it is better for your ESC. He usually use castle.

I do not know anymore what to do!!!!!!

I think they are covering their butts, in case you run too high advance. Sure, if you aren't racing, 0 on a Y motor would work and be safe. Just not reaching the motor's potential. As stated in the engineer's response, you can try higher settings if you take the responsibility for overdoing it and cooking the motor of ESC or battery. However, I think that 10 degrees is pretty common among sport and racing boaters.

The TP engineer is an idiot. Engineers at Castle know better. Use at least ten degrees timing advance. Period.

Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel! Lololololol!

I will use 11.25 degrees at Seaking for start and I will see how it goes!!!
Thanks!!!!

I found it interesting that a TP engineer stated that he usually uses castle motors! WHAT?

I'm pretty sure he was referring to the tp engineer using castle controllers. Lol
