We are running a 25 Outlaw with a 502 Mag and spinning a 23 Mirage Plus. This was the first weekend we used this boat in rough water at LOTO. With a full tank of fuel and about 6 people on board and in rough water, the prop started blowing out at about 4000 rpms. Some times I had to completely come off plane to get the prop to bite again. Has anyone exprienced this before? I assume we need a 4 blade, but I thought 23 Mirage Plus was the prop to run. Give me some suggestions.

I had the same problem with my 25 Outlaw. I went through many props before I found the one that worked the best. Before the supercharger I had a Bravo One 24 p labbed. After the supercharger I had a 28 p Bravo One Labbed by Mercury.

Try a 23 - Revolution 4

I ran a merc labbed 25 on my 25OL with 496HO and it was really good. Lots of grip and a WOT at 67 GPS mph at 4900 rpm any time. Tried a 23" Mirage Accelerator but it just didnīt feel as connected as the 4 blade.
Now I have a 525 and an Imco ext box and the same game takes place 12 mph further up the scale!

I had a similar problem, I went to a labbed 24p 3 blade. So far no problems.

I Have 2 Friends With 25 O/l And They Use 22 Pitch 4 Blade Hydromotives Works Great.

Does your prop have vent plugs?? thre would be 3 near the base of the prop inbetween the blades

One of my buddies put a 4 blade on his 25 and it slowed him down quite a bit, but he said it had great handling.

The 23 Mirage + does not have vent plugs.
