I have a 2000 celebrity BR 23' I/O mercruiser 5.7 250hp. Boat is tuned, bottom smooth, outdrive just painted 72 hrs ago. On flat water at WOT im maxing at 4k rpms. The engine cover and many people tell me i should be within the safe operating range of 4400-4800 RPM. Currently my prop is 3 blade alumn stammped 15x17P. What prop do i need to ge to at least 4400.
I have people telling me to go down in diamter stay same pitch...
also hear, stay same diameter drop pitch too 15 or 16...
Also heard get a bigger diameter stay same pitch...
*note that WOT is acheived at 3850 when i trim up it hits 4k* anymore trim and i slip...
A fellow boater told me i am "dragging the bow in water that i need to get the bow up after i plain out" i cant seem too starts slipping...thus need bigger dia prop...
Please help thanks a ton
