Prop Selection?
I have a 2006 key west 176cc with a Mercury 115 Optimax. This came with a vortex 13.25 x 17 aluminum prop. At mid range boat "squats" and the bow is real high until I go past 4000 RPM. I notice max RPM is 5200 but top end for motor is 5750 RPM's. Looking for a solution to get RPM's closer to top end and reduce the squatting. What would be the best option to solve both issues?
I've read about 4 blade props helping with the squatting but what about RPM's? Anyone have experience with hydrofoils? Any advice is most welcome. thanks!Last edited by Peetee907; 10-10-2020 at 11:47 AM.
