Prop question on 2002 Jaguar

I recently broke an ear off of my 4 blade 26 trophy. I tried a 27 3 blade tempest, but couldnt turn it well enough out of the hole, and didnt really get much different overall speed out of it, but did loose some handling. I ordered another 26 4 blade trophy and put my jackplate back to the original spot my jackplate was at before I adjusted when trying the 3 blade. I made a mark on my jackplate to insure I could get back to the same place as originally with the 4 blade. Problem is now I cant get the same performance with the new 4 blade as with the old one. I have tweaked a little each way and am close to the same hole shot, but overall top end speed, and bow lift are way different. I know every prop is a little different. I am wondering what the recommended height is for a 4 blade trophy on a 225 opti on an 02 Jag?

I just brought a 98 jag w/225 opti went thur dirffernet setting on the jack plate with very little luck. so i took my 24P trophy plus down to have it check out and 2 of the blades were bent, so i had them recup,balance,pitch and fix the tracking along with thinning out the blades. After getting the prop back i started over with the jackplate adjustments and tryed all 3 different PVS plusgs and for now im running 1.5″ High on the plate and the large PVS plugs, my hole shot is a lot better and over all Speed (76.6 GPS)(5600RPMs) and Bow lift is great. The next prop i my try is a 25P Yamaha Pro V 3 Blade Inwhich ill have to start over with the jackplate adjustments.Good luck with your Jag.

hmm… I have not tried different PVS plugs. I am using whatever came with the prop. I guess I always assumed they were all the same and didnt realize the PVS plugs were different. Also, I always thought that just effected hole shot?
