Yamaha Prop

[Guest April 24th 2004 154 pmBass Cat Boats]

Looking to pick up a spare prop and wondering what others are running…. 08 Cougar FTD single console with a 250 VMax. Has a 26 Tempest 3 blade on it now… not even sure what my top speed is. Had it to 75 at 5400 rpm with me and a buddy, 10 gal of gas and no load. Holeshsot wasnt spectacular but Im still learning the boat. Anyone running a 4 blade or a Yamaha T1 or T2?

Some do run a 25 Pro Series, though we would try a 25 Tempest. We do not suggest you run other motor manufacturers wheels in most cases.BCB

fury 26 is the answer you seek

[Scatcat]

Whats the difference between the tempest and the fury?

[bwp777]

the metallurgy mainly or that is what my limited understanding is

Slight difference in diameter – 14″ vs 14 5/8″ IIRC. (Fury first). Difference in blade shape (rake, cup, progressive pitch change, etc.) Much stiffer Alloy. When the Tempest + came out, it was the go-to prop until the Fury came along. It now seems to be king of the hill unless you run a heavier boat. Im certainly a big fan of it.Urban legend says the fury likes to run deeper than the tempest. Not exactly true. It really likes the blade tips to run at exactly the same depth as the Tempest, but that means about 5/16″ lower since the blades are 5/16″ shorter on each side.

Dont mean to hijack this too much from you Scatcat, but Ive got a similar question to this.Ive got an 06 Puma with a 225 HPDI. Currently running a 25 M1 that is spinning hubs relentlessly for no apparent reason so Im looking to get a new prop for my Yamaha as well. What would be the best prop for this setup? Hole shot is more important than speed for me as I tend to run in shallower water.Thank you!
