THE PROPS YOU HAVE SOUND LIKE THEY ARE WORKING WELL WITH 6%SLIP, BUT THE RPMS SOUND A LITTLE LOW I THINK THEY SHOULD BE AROUND 6500+ MERC RACING CAN LAB FINISH (LIGHTEN AND BALLANCE)THOSE PROPS AND FINE TUNE THEM FURTHER FOR YOUR APPLICATION :thumbsup:

If you can get 6% slip out of a 27 ft fountain, I would fold my cards and take my winnings!

if you take the #s and punch them into the mercury prop calculator you get the slip ratio at 6% , 25 p , 1.75 ratio, 6050 rpm , 76.5 =6to7% slippppppp.:D
