Subject: #2459: prop??????skeeter
Submitted by dusty55 (209.226.251.69) from ALABAMA on 7/21/04 11:24:07 am:
just bought an 02 sl 180 skeeter fish n'ski with an 02 135 optimax. right now im am running an aluminum 3 blade 21p. at wot i run around 50mph on speedo and 5300-5400rpm. i want to get a stainless prop (4 bladed) and have been told to get a trophy plus. What pitch should i go with?? right now i had to have my motor put all the way down because of ventilation problems but if i put a ss prop could i move it back up? thanks
Then try a 17 pitch Trophy under load. If your going to run empty most of the time then a 19. Four blades like to be run real high. I would definitely try testing props prior to purchase if possible though.
