Default Prop rotation

I have a staggered 525 Gladiator and was wondering what prop rotation to run. What size props as well are being used. Thanks Joe

Props should turn in. You really have 2 choices. Merc 4 blades in 34" or Hering 6 blades in 30" is what works best on a staggered 525 boat. I have tried multiple props including the Maximus 5 blades. Merc 4 blades will give you an extra couple of MPH,s at top end, but are a pain to get on plane. The Herings will jump on plane effortlessly and are the best overall prop I have tested for the Glad.

Rotate in. I have staggered 735 Richie Zuls. Bought the boat with 5-blade Herings. Currently working on Maximus 5-blades from BBlades (Brad). If you contact Brad, he'll ask you questions and suggest a prop to demo.
