I searched throughout this forum and some other places and couldn't find a specific situation that I have. Figure I would post up what prop I'll end up with.
Current specs:
2014 2575RCW w/ ESP and lifting strakes
56 gallon fuel tank
Yamaha 250SHO - just had it flashed to a 332 with NIZPRO @ Outcast Marine here in South Louisiana.
Prop: 15x17 Voyager<<<<< My current problem. Also when I purchased my boat, the prop didn't have a cotter pin in it. I know they had just serviced it, but that's not something easily forgotten. I really hope a "swap" didn't occur.
Boat should be running way faster than it is. I've never heard of Voyager props, and neither has any of the prop shops around here, or the place that flashed my ECU. I guess they are made by Turning Point?
I must've had some trash or something in the analog MPH gauge, as it was way off from my Garmin GPS - fixed that this last weekend. (Haven't used the GPS much as I'm still needing to upload the maps)
Pulled up GPS on my phone - 31 with me alone, full fuel.
28 with 5 people, ice chest
23 with 10 people, 3 ice chest.
With so many options and performance bulletins this is what I'm going to try:
Current prop I've got on order is an SWS II 15.75 x 15p - Local guy with a Benny pontoon and 250sho, said he has great performance and put him in the upper 40's.
Second prop I'm picking up tomorrow is a SWSII 15.5 x 17p - Since I don't know much about my prop, and it feels like it's slipping bad, wouldn't hurt as this seems to be a common one.
Third one I'm still trying to buy from a local guy - Merc Enertia 14.5 x 17p. Saw some good numbers from a few people.
Shop that tuned my ECU mentioned I should go up to at least a 16" diameter. We shall see. If the Merc prop falls through, I'll see what else I can find. I want to at least go out with 3 props to try.
I'll get all these numbers down, then go to the local prop shop for further tinkering if needed. More importantly - I'll post up my findings! We use it mostly for cruising, and getting somewhere quick if we need too. Water sports is rare, but I can always swap the prop as we have shallow dredged area.
