DBB Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Currently running a 15-1/4" X 19 three blade on my Pathfinder 2500 w/Yamaha 300. Is there a better diameter/pitch prop for this boat and motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOT rpm WOT speed Speed at 4000 rpm Hole Shot WOT RPM = 6000 WOT Speed = 51 to 53 depending load on boat 4K Speed = 36 to 40 I would have to check Hole Shot, I have a jack plate and whether it's up or down the boat jumps out of the water. Looking for more speed with prop change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin-addict Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 DBB, sounds very good to me. I’d leave it be. Why need for 50+ on a 2500. The only thing I see is more fuel burn and wear on the engine. JMO. 😀👍⚓️fin Ran 37+’ boats for 20 years. Wot 22kts. Cruised at 16kts. The fun is being on the water not how fast you get where you’re going. Cruised my 2200v at 27-30 mph for same reason. Wot was 43 mph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a better diameter/pitch prop for this boat and motor? Define better??? Really no such thing when it comes to props, every one has its pros and cons. In order for anyone to give advice on props you need to define what you want to improve on over the current prop or what your goals are. But again realize make one aspect better will almost always have a negative affect on something else, youll need to know what that is and be willing to sacrifice it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
