    Question Prop selection for Action 19.5 w/2.5

    Hi,

    I have an action 19.5 ft with a 2.5 245 hp. carb merc. I run 88 on gps with just me in the boat spinning a RE 29 pitch mazco @6200. If i add 1 person it drops to 6000 and then i add a 3rd it goes down to 5900-5800 rpm. I was told that this motor needs to rev more and i'm thinking a 27 pitch. I'm told that lighting et is the way to go ??? If so where do i get one ?? Does merc still sell them brand new ?? any suggestions ??

    Thanks,

    Scott

    Welcome to the board!

    It won't take long for the help train to come rollin' in.

    Action17 is the man on those rigs.

    Post some photos of the rig also.
