jh141 Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 If you search through the Pathfinder thread in Prop Discussion you will find some suggestions. On my 2012 22 TRS with a 200 SHO I started with the Yamaha HS4 in 21 pitch. It is a great prop just a to much pitch to get to 6000 rpm if you are wanting to get top speed and that's the least amount of pitch they make in that prop. I moved to an OFX4 by Power Tech in 18 pitch. Rpm was right but I did not like anything about that prop. Below is what HoneyB recommended, He also run a 22 TRS with the 200 SHO. "The Mercury Tempest Plus in 21 pitch and the Mercury Enertia prop in 19 pitch are both three blades that did very well" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 The 200 did run out well with the three blades mentioned above. I was running 52/53mph with the tempest plus. And the Enertia was very close to the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamaskeet Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 That engine is very hard to prop because it produces 250 hp until you get above 4500 rpm and then the ECM cuts off the extra 50 hp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
