Mercury 200 Pro XS

Just bought a sporty for my 200 pro xs. Was wondering thoughts on what prop to run on a Xb 2003?

Gearcase ratio ? 1.75 or 1.86 or?

1.62 gears

This will be interesting for me. I have the 200XS ROS on an SS2000. It does plane well with small hub Trophy’s. I wonder if your 200 will be the same. A worked 28 Trophy was great for me once on a plane. But 1.75 gears and 600 rpm idle needs slip to plane easily.

Mine has 1.75 gears. 24 Drag 4 is great until 81 ish when it hits the limiter. 28 TX4 and 28 Hoss Triton run well.

24 sounds like a good start David .

I was planning on trying a 28 et this weekend

Good place to start. Might be steep if your are loaded, but perhaps right for empty.

Thanks for your input
