Currently run a set of bravo 3, 4/3 props that I managed to clip a rock with. So long story short, I’m going to get them fixed, but would like to purchase another set of props. When you purchased your 4x4 props did you have to drop down in pitch? The person I talked to said no, but after reading online it seems like most people do. I’m right in the mid-range on wot rpm and don’t want to fall off to the bottom on the wot rpm range.

The B3 4/3 is Mercs XR series and will be different then going from a 3/3 to Hill marine 4/4. I went from 26P 3/3 to 24P 4/4 and did better because the 26P I could not reach 5200 rpm. The hole shot was better as well.

If you buy direct thru Hill Marine they will exchange the props as many times as needed to get you where you want to be. Don't remember how many times I swapped but think it was 3 times. Only thing it cost me was return ship each time.

I did look into buying the props first from a retailer and they said it would cost me 10% restock fee
