1990 Formula 242 LS
Prop change

Will a 22 pitch RH. 15 1/4 bravo one 4 blade prop fit on a 1990 242 LS. The 15 1/4 size looks like it will fit. There is a 21 pitch 3 blade mirage on it now maybe 14 1/2? How will this affect low and top end? Thank-You Gus

The 4 blade will give good low end grunt. However the pitch is slightly larger and the blade area is quite a bit larger than the 3 blade. You should see better mid range with the 4 blade too.

The top rpm's will drop with the 4 blade. The prop will fit. The actual diameter is 15".
