Need advice and prop.

[tipmaryland]

I currently run a 200 optimax on a classic w/ a worked Trophy 25P and im looking for a prop that churns lower in the rpm range. Would you guys recommend a Trophy 26? Any recommedations would be great, and any offers if you guys are selling used props in the 26 range. Thanks

Need to know what year engine, what rpms are you turning now…the BassCat guys that run the Merc Optis in the 200 hp range will be able to help. I ran the EFIs only.96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner

Jignpig- Its a 07 Optimax, at WOT ive had the alarm go off a couple times… which i think is close to 5900 or so.

If you are hitting the Rev Limiter with a 25P trophy then yes, I would move up to a 26P. Going up in pitch should bring you down 2 to 3 hundred RPMs. If you canot find a decent used one then you can order a brand new one for a little over 3 hundred dollars. Good Luck JW Edit: Made a mistake. A new prop is about 4 hundred dollars but you should be able to buy a good used one for about 3.Last edited by basscat247 on February 3rd, 2008, 11:35 am, edited 2 times in total.

I am running a Pantera II and I was hitting the limiter with a 26 trophy on my 200 opti. I had to move on up to a 27 tempest to keep it out of the limiter.
