Slo Poke1 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Finally got out on my boat after getting the JP installed to check out the performance. Well, it was nothing short of ***ing. The best trim/JP setting was no trim/no elevation. Any trim or raising the engine cause increased rpm and decreased speed. I hoped the plate would help the prop since it would cavitate when trimmed while turning. Guess I need a different prop. I have a Power Tech prop, but the size is not stamped, just model numbers.

FunFlatsFishing Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 What is the model number on your prop? I have an 05 with F150 and run a PowerTech OFX4, rotates right, 17 Pitch. I believe all OFX4 are 15.25" in diameter My model number is CLY2000 OFX4R17P btw which the first part is the hub detail and the second is the prop details You may require a slight variation since you have a Vmax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Jazzy Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Why did you go with a 6" setback? 4" is the norm. Btw I had the same motor and hull with a 4" setback Jp and had no issues running a PT 3 blade 19 pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slo Poke1 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 3 sets of numbers. Top set looks like a phone number 318 668 1970. Second set difficult to read looks like VM200PTR19P. Last set 9381120. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll measure it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Jazzy Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 That's what was used from the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEM Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 You are way overpropped. PowerTech recommends a17 pitch 4 blade. I just put a 6 inch Atlas jp on my 2007 2200V with a F150. On PT recommendation, I went with the 17 pitch with 3/8 ported. I just put the boat in the water yesterday afternoon for a 20 minute run before the rains came, so I didn't get to do much with it. I did see 5800 rpms and 44 mph, which is about what I was expecting. I knew I would lose 2 or 3 mph on top end and I did. I hope to get to play around with it more this afternoon in between the rain showers......hopefully. I will report back here with more results. But I can tell you you are definitely overpropped.

No hes is not over propped with that motor with a 19p. It may be the wrong prop or something wrong with the JP. I ran a PT YM200OFS3R19P on my "02 with a 150 Vmax(carbed) and had zero issues. I could run w/ jp on 6 and it never spun out with me. The F150 is a different ball game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slo Poke1 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 I sent PT an email for their recommendation. I would rather avoid a 4 blade due to the speed loss. Speed is more important than hole shot. I was getting 45 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slo Poke1 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Went with the 6" Bob's since that was the smallest with the all-in-one design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulligan Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Sorry can not help with prop but in another thread you made mention of a tunnel hull. I am not sure you are referring to the "pocket" as a tunnel or if it is a tunnel hull which Pathfinder also made. Propping a tunnel hull is going to be different than a "v" hull.

Slo Poke1 Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I suppose it is a "pocket" as it's only 13 inches long. I sent Marcus a photo and he still recommends the OFX4 17 using the JP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalChilio Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Hope I can help here but may be a little late, So I have 2-05' 2200V Pathfinders with Yamaha F150's, One in Fl and One in CA. Both are almost Identical except for color and props. I'm running the OFX4-17 on the CA boat and tops out at 44 and 5600 rpm. The Florida boat has a Yamaha 4blade 13 3/4 X 18, tops out at 48 and 5800, I have seen 50mph but would assume it was wind/tide aided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the name of the prop series, or the model number. Those stats are great, and I think I would like to try that prop on my 2007 2200V, F150 with an Atlas jack plate. Thanks for any information you can provide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalChilio Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Here are the pics of the Yamaha prop. I can hit 48 with my fishing gear, 3/4 tank of fuel and myself on the boat. this is the prop on the CA boat Hope this helps, just let me know if you have other questions.

JEM Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I ordered the Yammy prop today. Unfortunately, it's on backorder till later this month. I have heard a lot of Yamaha props have been on backorder for a while. Hopefully, this backorder won't last too long. I can't wait to try it out. Thanks for the help.
