Need some help with motor timing

[spanky17]

Well I decided to return the Proboat 1500kv replacement motors that I was going to use in my Impulse31 and Blackjack 29 boats. After returning them I ordered two Leo 4074 1650kv motors and the upgraded flex cables from OSE. Steven has already sent me out 2 SeaKing 180amp esc's and 2 Octura m445 props, thanks Steven for the fast shipping. The Leo 4074 and 180amp esc seems to be the best system for running these boats on 6 cell (two 3 cell packs in series) as im after reliability as well as speed. I come from the truck and heli world in RC but have no idea about where to set the timing at for these motors on 6 cell. I have the Hobby wing programming card to set it with just not sure were to set it. I will be running the same set-up in both hulls. Im really looking forward to getting these boats on the water, hopefully before freeze up starts.

That is a 'D' wind motor, set the timing at low (0-5*). Advancing timing on 'D' motors does little to nothing for performance. It does help 'Y' wind motor performance.

Thanks for the info Fluid, my programming card has two options for low setting, 0 and 3.75 . I will set it at the 3.75 setting. When the motors come in I am planning on stripping out the hull and adding some extra fiberglass reinforcement and perhaps some extra floatation.
