I think you should look into some 21 pitch Laser II's.. see if you can demo a pair. If they are a couple of hundred rpm low.. then have then thinned and sharpened to pick up the lost rpm.

You should be shooting for around 5000 rpm.

Will do. Thanks!

told ya, these guys have it straight and the change will let the drives live longer/more rpm and less load/torque on the drives, gears etc. cya

New Props on the Way....
 

Just ordered two brand new Mercury Quicksilver Lightspeed (replaces Laser II) props, Part #: QS5072X.
Dia: 13 7/8
Pitch: 21
Blades: 3

Replacing my Mirage Plus, Part #:48-13700:
Dia: 15 1/4.
Pitch: 19.
Blades: 3

Thanks for all the advice. I HOPE THIS WORKS!!!!

:boat:

hey dude, ya know goin back to the thru transom exhaust is going to wake her back up, thru the hub is quiet, but restrictive. that is prob. why the prev.owner claimed higher top end numbers/speeds. can ya get out of work today ? know it's late timing, but Marina Bay is a callin US :eek:-:eek:-:eek:

N-I'CE idea, but no props yet. In fact, they called and said they only had 1 in stock. They need 8-10 days to get the second prop. I told them to hurry 'cause it's getting colder around here. When I get them, you, George and I can try them out in tha harba (although it will seem like going backwards for you).

dude call me tryin to set ya up on a real horse :grinser010: RIDE !

Not sure I want to. I'm sure it's like wine. Once you start tasting $30-$50 bottles, the $10 bottles that used to taste good now taste like vinegar. :drink:

your right,but remember you did not pay 30-2-50$ it was a free offer and test of your true convictions remember vinegar was once sweet tasting apple juice now lets not worry about comparing oranges to cantaloupes or any of that BS u-need devotion and a firm budget as we all can say the grass always looks greener some where else, but I like to keep some of the green in my pocket - free rides come seldomly - - :kiss:

Wow dude... is that some kind of far out psychedelic code stuff ??
