Subject: RE: Prop Question


What I might suggest as a potential option for you is to talk with your dealer and see if they will allow you to try a couple different props to find which one suits you best.

My boat came with a 21 pitch prop stock, I was reaching about 6000 RPM, which is about right for my 150 Suzuki. Well, I had and issue and my prop got dinged up so I ended up getting a loaner prop until my other one came in. Problem is the loaner was a 23 pitch.

I was curious how the 23 would work to begin with and welcomed the chance to try it and not have to buy it. After using the 23 for several weeks it was obvious that this was not meeting my performance needs. I hit 5500 rpm, but the holeshot was not very good.
See if they will let you water test a couple different ones to find the right combo for your boat. My guess is that you will settle around a 19 or so for best overall performance.
