SeaSerpent123 Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 I know it's been beaten to death but I want a 4 blade for more hole shot and lift in the stern. Right now, my max speed is 44 mph with 2 people but only running 5200-5400 rpm. I can't get the rpm any more not mattter how much I trim. Engine is a 115 sho. Anyone running my set up with a 4 blade that have the dims so I can buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaSerpent123 Posted September 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 I was just told the Power tech RXB 13.25 diameter and 17" pitch Thought's anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaSerpent123 Posted September 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 Just noticed y engine is set at hole # 2. Not sure why as their test on Hewes site is hole # 1. I'm thinking someone messed up at the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennF Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Think I’m a little late to this discussion When we were setting up our 2018 Hewes MBG put me in touch with Carabee Marine the Maverick/Hewes/Pathfinder dealer in Islamoranda. They asked me what my objective was then gave me the part# and even called my dealer in Sarasota and told them what I needed. In our case we ended up with a four blade that gave us good all around performance and almost 7 mpg running the 115 SHO.. We used the boat a lot around Islamorada and back in Flamingo so a quick hole shot was important to us. Our top end was around 46-48 mph Depending on load. Avg load was 30 gal fuel and both live wells full. Since Carabee rigs so many boats for shallow water use they were very experienced and helpful sorry I can’t recall the part# of the 18P 4-blade, couple years ago we moved to a Cobia 21 Bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
