Just ordered a repower for my 340 Sport center console. Going from twin 300s to twin 400s. Does anyone know what props NorTech is using on a 340CC with twin 400s? I've also sent an email to NorTech, I'm not sure who to contact there now that Terry S is gone.

Thanks. Matt responded to the email I sent to Nor-Tech's contact address. They use the 23P Rev 4, which was what I guessed since I currently have 21s. Kudos to Matt and Nor-Tech customer service - they responded within a couple hours.

Oops I’m meant 25 rev 4 s

Haha. I figured that was a missed key stroke. Found this site that shows half pitch Rev 4 offerings to 25.5. Obviously they are fine tuning the standard Merc offerings. I may call them tomorrow to find out what they are doing.

I was going with 25.5 but Trond talk me out of them.

We need a couple nice spring days here soon to burn that fuel load off for proper prop testing.

I don't think that will be too much of a problem if Merc lead time turns out to be around 3 months. They were suppose to get the boat this week and take it to the shop to make sure they have everything ordered they need. Not sure if they still plan to do that or not. I know they need new wiring harnesses and the new Gen 5 beefier tie bar. I'm pretty sure the new external fuel water separator filters come with the engines, at least the Merc announcement of the engines from way back said it does. I'm not aware of anything else they need, but better to be safe than sorry.

So how does your boat run with the 400s? Which props did you end up with?

Mentalpause

Still waiting on the engines. Merc has delayed them twice. The latest date they gave me on 5/29 said they would ship in 10 days, so hopefully they are in the mail and will arrive this week.
