I have a 2005 merc 4 stroke I use as a kicker for trolling on my Ranger 690vs
It has the original propeller that it came with which is a 3 blade 8.5 pitch
It is a but dinged up but works fine, i was thinking of going either with a solas 3 blade 9 pitch or a silas 4 blade 7 pitch anyone running either if these, pros cons??

4 blades work good on kicker except they do not back up well.

Yup thats not an issue my main concern would be losing top end im currently around 5.0-5.1 really don't want to drop but I think the 3 blade 9 pitch might gain me 0.3 -0.5 if so that would be great
