24 Trophy How High

[vnemous]

24 Trophy on a 21 Challanger. How high should or could I run this. CLE on 2.4 225 carb motor with 8" set back. THanks for all suggestions. Planning on getting a 12" Rapid Jack in near future. Thanks Mike

Can you surface this prop. Heard they can throw a blade. Currently running 4 blade cleaver one inch below pad but I know it should be higher.

dont have that many hours currenty but about 20 so far without problem. it will not be my prop of choise, looking for a 25 tempest. home sewer problems have limited my boating this year.

I run my 26 (old style) and my 27 (new style) about 1/4" below right now, but have run them 1/2" above or so.

I have had TWO Trophy's crack blades on me.

One was a used prop, (27) and I got 63 hours out of it.

A BRAND NEW Trophy 27, lasted 83 hours before cracking a blade.

Still my favorite prop, and Merc gave me ANOTHER new one, it is still in the unopened box, but I will use it "when" this one cracks too.

I do check my props EVERYTIME I go out though.

Funny thing though, the old style 26 has been surfaced for 6 to 8 years, and cut several inches INTO logs, and still no signs of cracks.
