Mark,

Giovanni asked me what props to run on his boat. I think Bud said he set the Xdim at 17" but not sure. I said Mirage Plus 3 blade 24-25" pitch best guess or a b1 4blade 24" if the 3blades dont plane out well. What do you think?

Aaron you out there? What pitch do you run?

I like the 4 blade props but that may be a little to much pitch for that combination ??. The 3 blade props with 24" pitch should be a good starting point. I dont know much about the 8.2 Merc, like how much torque they make.

Thank you Marshall,thamk you Aarom
Maybe Mirage Plus 3 blades 24-25 is a
Good starting point,trusting in the 8.2
Merc torque
The option for the four blades was in rough sea conditions that ensured better planning

Ciao Giovanni,

Sono appena arrivato in Italia. Mi piacerebbe vedere la barca. La tua email non funziona. Ho provato a scriverti in private message ma non posso accedere. Mi mandi una email corretta? Ti mando il mio cellulare.
