Default Re: Prop for V20 cuddy with 225 OMC ob?
I have a '77 cuddy w/ a '95 225 Merc. EFI, & I have a couple of props. I have a 17" x15 1/2" stock Merc Alum. Prop, which I can turn at 5700 to 5800, & get about 46 to 47 mph, I have two Mirage SS Props Which I got on E-Bay which are 19" x 15 1/4", One I run as is, & it turns About 5300 to 5350, at 50 to 51 mph. The other I had redone, they took 2" of pitch out of it, & added a lot of cup, that one runs about 5500 to 5600, at 47.5 to 48.5 mph. Of course a lot depends on the day, wind and current, & especially load. All speeds GPS. The 19" unworked prop gets best cruse milage, good for off shore fishing, no hole shot needed. The reworked Mirage best all around performance. SS definately better than Alum. look around on E-Bay for a deal. I hope these numbers help you some. Good Luck, Joe
