The Powertech OFS4 normally does well when I need lower pitches.
the 15 would probably do very well.
I don't have them for testing, but if...

I would try the 15 pitch Honda prop and see what happens. I think it may work very well.
Solas makes Honda props, so that 15 3/4 x 15 Honda prop...Leave a comment:

Always interesting with new props.
Numbers are a little odd with all the props as all 3 props are getting negative slip numbers at wide open....Leave a comment:

Numbers sound great !, RPM and speed is about what we expected.
if you think you can raise the motors a hole, you might get that couple MPH back...Leave a comment:

I actually found an email of ours where you were getting about 35 MPH with the 175 HP Yamaha.
if that is still your numbers, I'd expect about 40...Leave a comment:

Yeah, I think the Q3 15 would do well. Your numbers aren't bad now, just a little too much pitch.
15 would accelerate stronger and turn about 500...Leave a comment:

Its normally very low on slip.
I haven't run them often enough to compare against many of them.
Has very good traction, and gives a lot of... -
Does the Spitfire X7 perform differently than other 4 blades out on the market currently? I have not yet been able to run one.... -
I would expect the Mercury's to be faster and get better fuel economy. Not because of weight,, but because the lower units are quite a bit smaller....Leave a comment:

Could try a 17 pitch PTR3 if the goal is top end, it gives pretty good bowlift, and might be a couple mph faster....Leave a comment:

RPM range for that motor is 5000 to 6000.
dropping to a 16 pitch, you'd accelerate a lot stronger and still get about the same top end speed, so...Leave a comment:

I'd like to see what 17 pitch Quicksilver Q4's would do.
Should accelerate MUCH stronger and have good bite.
probably loose 1 or 2 MPH on...Leave a comment:

I'd go LFS4, 18 pitch and we'll see what happens.
cost $499 from me, 35 if we need to swap out or return it.Leave a comment:

Probably just running with very little fuel and no gear.
19's would theoretically turn 6280 at the same speed and slip.
18's would hit 6400...Leave a comment:

I emailed you, but the prop I'd suggest is the Powertech SWW3 in 12 pitch.
Sounds super low, but it hooks up strong, I normally expect less then...Leave a comment:

Nice !
what RPM and GPS speed did you get with the 20's ?Leave a comment:

I'd love to see what a 19 Revolution 4 would do.
Your slip is pretty high with your current numbers. 19 pitch, 6100 RPM at 51 MPH is 19% slip, which...Leave a comment:

The LFS4 would be my choice as well, but I would absolutely get that transducer out of there first. It could be causing the problem for sure.
When...Leave a comment:

Well, for $30 plus shipping we can find out.
I'm sure it will depend on the boat.
The Enertia is really good on fuel a lot of time. The Quicksilver...Leave a comment:

If you bought from Powertech, it would be very expensive. You probably bought from the dealer up in Washington that makes their site appear to be Powertech's....Leave a comment:
