1) Performance issue you are trying to correct.
Poor top speed.
2) Current prop manufacturer, model, aluminum or stainless as a minimum.
Solas 4 blade 14.74 x 15p aluminum.
3) Current prop diameter and pitch (required).
14.75 x 15p.
4) Wide open throttle RPM and speed with an average load (very helpful)
5800 rpm and 22 mph gps with one person no extra baggage.
5) Engine/drive make, model, year, and HP
05 honda 150 outboard, 2.14 gear ratio.
6) Boat make model, year, length and weight
05 bentley 243 tritoon around 2500 lbs
Looking for some help on a new prop selection.
Boat is used to cruise the lake and pull tubes.
Motor starts right up just looking at the key, out the hole the boat jumps right up and plans out quickly.
Top speed is just slow, will cavatate if turned hard.
Motor is on the next to the top hole so it can go up but don't know if that will help ? Not much difference from 4500 rpms to wot. Played with online pitch slip and said it was 40 % ? What should I try to get the speed up ?
