Good morning! I'd appreciate some feedback on what pitch you use for high altitude. I live/boat at about 5500 feet. I have a 2005 250H with the 8.1 Mag. Currently, a Bravo 1, 1.50:1 with 19 pitch 3 blade SS Mirage Plus. Total dog out of the whole and won't quite reach full RPM. I'm looking at changing the lower to a Bravo 3 with a 2.20:1. For those at high altitude, what's your setup that gives a decent whole shot for popping skiers and boarders out of the water?
Thanks!
Rick
Why not just use a 17p prop, and save the 19p for vacations at lower altitude? Going from 1.5:1 to 2.2:1 sound like too big of a change.
What RPM are you getting at WOT?
