27 fever prop choice
 

can any body tell me what size prop my 2007 27 fever -496 mag ho it curantly has 24p bravo 1 lh 1.50 drive max speed 67 but rev limiter beeping its brains out would a 26p be to high

If it is the stock propeller that came with the boat, it would not go in the rev limiter when new. The reason is most likely that the blades has been "laid back" (slightly less pitch). This has happened to me on two Fountain baots 29 & 35. I think 26" will be a bit heavy and give you a lot more time coming on plane. I suggest you get a prop guy to cup your blades at th right placees on the leading edge. Then you will have almost the same accelleration as before and the right rpms on top. It worked great for me. Also better bowlift and cruise speed on mid-throttle.

Do anyone know if 1,65:1 gear ratio with more pitch is a more common set-up on this package? It seems like Fountain has equipped alot of small engine boats with this. Can anyone explain the difference in te boats riding attitude with this change? Have always wondered about this.....

Try a hydromotive prop 23 pitch

hydromotive prop
 

is there any special model or type that i should hunt 4 ie 3 blade or 4

Was your boat set up with right or left hand rotation?

drive rotation
 

l/h rotation

hydromotive 23 4 blade left hand rot.

My `97 with the 500hp runs 74mph @ 5600 rpms, with a Bravo 1 24p L/H. Just bought a 26p Bravo 1, but haven`t had the time to compare?

If I were you I would run a Hydromotive Quad 4 24 pitch. You can detune it if you need to a 23. The Q4 is pretty neutral as far as lifting is concerned, it's not a stern lifting prop, it's a very common prop on the Fountains. It's what I run on my 29 with a 500EFI. My .02!

you want peformance ? get a labbed 26 Bravo from BBLades.A labbed 26 will turn more RPM than a 26 non labbed.
