Default Bravo 1 Drive

OK I had a Mach Stern Drive Prop 14 3/4" 18p. and WOT was 3100 RPM and boat would stay up on plain. I swapped to an aluminum 16" 16p and boat got up on plain, and WOT went to 3900RPM any Help would be Appreciated.

ooops sorry I have a BB 454 with a Bravo 1, 1.5:1

Bill the Nurse- I don't understand your concern?

First- it is "plane" not "plain"

That engine should run at 42-4600 RPM WOT.


If you want the best over all performance a Revolution 4 blade 15P is the solution for a cruiser of your size with a single BBC. Call Brad at Bblades, they even have a trial program on the props.
