| Post subject: | Prop |
Not many lakes around my area nor people that know what they're talking about when it comes to boating. I had a 21 pitch prop but my hole shot wasn't where I wanted it. I was told to go down in pitch so the guy stated that 17 pitch is what I needed. Now, hole shot is better but I lost 12 mph on top end AND it's running rpm's really high for the speed I'm going. 30 mph is bringing 4500 rpm which is not even close. Most of you know way more than the people I've talked to so suggestions are welcome!! |

Stainless is a must, I had a stint with aluminum props and they kill speed. What year/size/engine is your boat? Need to find what came stock then go from there |

I've messed with the trim countless times. It's not the trim, I also had that thought... |
