I am thinking of getting a jackplate for my rig, and was told I should go with 6" set back, start at 4" below pad, and use a 25p Tempest. My current setup is... 1992 Cajun 1900 Tournament with gross weight of 2400-2500 lbs., 1992 Johnson 200GT, 14.5x20 Raker, 58mph@6300 rpm. I do not know current prop shaft to pad #'s, but motor is as high as it can go currently.
I know that with the JP rpm's will likely increase. But..enough to increase pitch by 5"? Should I stick with a Raker, or switch to the Tempest?
