Step, my apologies, but can't remember what hp motor you're hangin' off that bracket... ::)...

Re: prop survey
 

I'm running a 14x19" pitch Vengeance, SS, 3-blade. Tops out @ 49mph w/200 Merc.

Re: prop survey
 

Tin, what kinda RPMs ya gettin' outta that @ WOT?...

Re: prop survey
 

RAP, not sure on RPM's, tach not working correctly, shows only about 3300 at WOT. I've got a couple electrical gremlins I'm tryin to work out.

Re: prop survey
 

Gotcha, Tin...is the tach adjusted to the motor it's presently hooked up to?... ???...

Re: prop survey

Re: prop survey
 

I have an 85 merc 150 on mine and since I am quite fond of running up on shoals and oyster bars as well as getting stuck at low or wind tide where I have to chew my way back into deep water , I now only run a 4 blade comprop.Its a 13.7 x 18. Sand eats up aluminum very quick and they are not cheap to fix. You can get 4 blade comprops on ebay for 20 or 30 bucks and if you bust off a fin just throw them away .I cant go fast down here anyway because of the shallow water shoals and the sloppy ocean conditions most of the time. I tested the speed in the intercoastal a while back with a hand held GPS and it showed 37 with me , my dog and a full tank of gas and I have bottom paint ..Frank

Not sure...I don't see any settings on the back of Tach. Boat did have a Force 150, is that a 4-cylinder? Maybe that's my problem???

Stock Aluminum prop on '75 135 HP Evinrude, 13x19, hitting 4800RPM max and 38MPH (GPS), two people, 3/4 tank ( 45 gallon capacity). Yesterday ordered new 13 1/4 x 17 to try to get a little more RPM's.

But, from reading boards, looks like link and sync might be all that was needed, or might need to do in addition to prop. Is that a simply task to perform?
