Re: 2302 150 Prop size

well, I just bought a Silverado 14.25 X 15 SS prop, it came in last week and I haven't had the chance to test it out. Tue. or Wed. is Test day! for any one that is interested, I'll post some No#. My org. prop was the stock 15.2 X 15 Alumin. prop, on my 2004 2302 WA witha 150 2 stroke Salt water Merc. I'll be testing with 70 gals of fuel and 2 people with all fishing gear...a moderate load, not my off shore heavey load. I'll clue all in later

WOT was 5500 RPM - 65 gals fuel. - wind 15 mph - seas 1-2' chop - 2 peps med load for fishing


I just stuck them all closer together so they were easier to read.

I'd say the 15 is the winner. You might get a touch faster in smoother conditions, and the rpm is where you want it.
