merc chopper

[R.grover]

Hey guys can any one tell me some info on the merc choppers.
Im running merc et props but want to try for somthing with more bow lift so looking at the chopper.
If im running a 26et would it be same revs as a 26 chopper brand new flo torq type.
As i know with some of the other props merc dose they say you need to go up or down in pitch to run the same revs

I run a 28 chopper big blade and a 28 ET 3 blade and get very close to the same r's. ET may run a few more.

X2 and the Chopper is a turd out of the hole compared to the ET. 100-150 more rpm on the ET.

When you are referring to a Mercury chopper, is this what you mean?

A lot of people think this is a chopper

I know, I couldn't get the pics to follow the words, and could get them to move on an edit. The pic of the chopper even has chopper written on the tag.

I've only seen three chopper props out this way in 40 yrs. It is fun to watch how the motor spins up and with great slippage the boat slowly moves, then Wham, it's going

I would give the $75 for that chopper

I RUN a 24 scorpion 15'' dia thru-hub super lift all around same rpm as 26 chopper; super hi-rake design same top end as chop without the steer torque. lots of guys say they love em. takes flo-tork hub.
