Cobalt 227 Owner Needs Help

New Club Member Sasha Mitic needs help with propeller pitches, computer adjustment.  Please email Sasha if you have some good technical ideas.

picture-927I have a 2000 227 with a 502, bravo 3 drive, 2:1 ratio and downpitched props for altitude running (Lake Tahoe, 6220elev). Can anyone help with propeller pitches, computer adjustment. I now run the boat at Lake Meade (NV) which is about 1100elev. I can run 76mph (radar and
GPS tested) but the boat feels like i needs more bite. Besides changing the props are there any computer adjustments (re-program) or anyhting else i can do to make it more altitute friendly. In Lake Tahoe, the speed, fuel usage, holeshot are fantastic but in lower altitude it just feels slugish and thirsty….Thanks to anyone that can help. ~Sasha
