another dumb prop quwstion

[GREYWOLF]

Yea I agree, I spoke with a yamaha dealer and giving the weight of the V20 he said go with a 14.5 X 17 prop that should be my best bet. So I orderd one $136 it will be in Monday so no fishing this weekend

any way thanks for all the advise

I had a 15.5 x 17 on my Honda 150...PERFECT...got all the RPMs (6,000) and all...had to drop back to 15.25 dia. to get a rattle out of the lower unit at idle though, but I've been a believer in big diameter props for these deep Vs ever since..the deeper the V, the more resistance through the water...the bigger dia provides more thrust to overcome that resistance...but that's just me...

I use to use the 15x15 and was happy! on both the V and the sea ox. I carried a lot of weight at times and it was great getting out the hole, and just about all, was a little slower on the top end but I was fine with just a few miles hour short!

14.25 x 17p always worked well for my merc 150 on my V. Last prop I had on it was a Rev 4, was perfect.
