Prop Help
 
hey guys hope someone can point me in the right direction. Need help on getting my fountain dialled in prop wise .

1992 27' flat bottom fountain
650Hp @5500-5500rpm
Standard Bravo one 1:50

Right now I'm running the 4 blade hydromotive 24p and running 5600-5700rpm with trim still left .

What do you guy suggest would be ideal prop for my application?

Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Joe jr.

Try a 26p Bravo. A bit better bow lifter I am told vs the 4 blade hydro... Unless you are fine with how it acts, then simply raise pitch 2" or so.

Yes, 24 seems a little on the low side.

I really like the hydromotive , what would be best size going that route

Depends on the desired RPM change. Every inch of pitch is approx 200rpm. So, if you want to drop RPM by say 300-400, raise pitch number by 2".
