i have 500hp and a 1.36 ratio drive and am running a 24p bravo 1. Which was recomended by griff and BBlades. I would consult them for any prop needs. My only problem is that i need to find another one to have labbed by bblades so i am not out a prop.

your starting point on the mixture screws will probably be 1 - 1 1/4 full turn out. with the boat in the water, I set idle first at about 900 rpm. Then put the boat in gear, if it doesnt stumble when put in gear i would start going in with the mixture screws in 1/8 turn increments on all four corners until it stumbles when you put it in gear. put it in gear after every adjustment. Once it stumbles, back it back out about 1/4 turn and you will be set pretty well. That has worked for me as I had to fool with my carbs wuite a bit when they came back from Nickerson in May. That will get you very close. And you may have to fine tune the idle after you get themixture right. If its a dominator type carb, make sure you adjust idle in the front and back, there is 2 adjustment screws for idle on a dominator
, and went with CFM DEAN GELLNER said they were very good and the carb is nicer looking but that 670hp motor is sitting now a 572 blower is being finished.
