Just out of curiosity. What rpm are you turning at wot with the prop you have? And what engine do you have? 4100 RPM -- should be 4400-4600 That's in a PERFECT day.. flat water, no weight, etc etc etc. Hole shot sucks. 5.7 gm based mercruiser (350ci) Alpha1 1.47ratio, 19" pitch 3 blade Regarding the prop -- yes; I can find a 14" 17pitch prop; but they're on the cheaper side of performance... When I get into 4 blades, they seem to get bigger as the pitch is decreased. I'm sure I'll find it.. the prop shop said they wouldn't charge me much to take some off the edge if I need them to; so I'll probably go with an aluminum and have them shave it if needed. -j I am running props from these guys. http://www.propcopropellers.com/information.htm Since you have a merc http://www.propcopropellers.com/mercruiser_Props.htm they use a traditional rubber hub. Good Luck Capt Jack R.. |
