My new Evinrude Etec G2 150 HO on my new 19 22SSBXP says "no break in required". Wonder if they break in at the factory? Seems odd. I know it's a 2 stroke, but seems odd. I guess on my new sleds back in the day, i never really broke them in either.

I bought these on Amazon. My last tritoon had similar ones that were non RGB (red only). They stuck well for 4 seasons. I had to buy a cheap power supply dimmer switch. That's it. The RGB ones were a little bit more to install. I used an unused accessory switch on the dash for power, ran...

Wow! Thanks McZiggy! Ordered a new Solas 13.75x13 aluminum. Thicker blades, rubber hub, noticebly, bigger blades, and best of all it performs like it should! It grabs and goes. I'm at 25 in a few seconds and top speed on GPS my first night out was 31mph with 2 adults, full cooler, 2 kids...

meant to say McZiggy not Admiral...

the Solas 13.75 x 13 aluminum prop is in. trsting tomorrow. will let you know.

Thanks guys.  Admiral, was your boat experiencing the high rpm with major slip as well?  Did you try your solas prop before you had them cup it?  Just curious.  Also, I was thinking the same thing, that my boat should have a rev limiter of some sort.... It would go as high as I stated, according...

I see that this prop has larger diameter and more blade surface area for better grip etc...  Maybe I should trust the dealer.  Wish they wouldve recommended this when i bought the boat new a few weeks ago.

The dealer recommended the Yamaha Pontoon Performance Series 14 diam. x 13 p. 3 blade stainless.  Not really sure how these are designed for pontoon performance, but would be cool if it weren't just a sales gimmick and they really worked!  

First of all, i posted this info as a reply in an earlier post in the set up forum, but feel that this deserves it's own thread.  Please help.  Need to order new prop. I was able to put over 10 hours on the boat this week.  had a blast.  Prop is not the right one for sure however.  Just got off...

I was able to put over 10 hours on the boat this week.  had a blast.  Prop is not the right one for sure however.  Just got off the phone with the dealer and he said he would give me full value back on the crappy aluminum prop (145) towards a Yamaha stainless that retails for $518.....  Doesn't...

I can still negotiate a bit on prop, but don't want to make a bad choice.  I searched the forums for my answers (site:club.benningtonmarine.com) to no avail.  I have the express tube option with strakes on it only.  I have the Yamaha '15 115hp.  I have always run stainless for performance on...
