Re: prop size

In most cases a 4 blade prop will run a little higher RPM than the same pitch in a 3 blade. If you're running a 25 Tempest you might try a 26 Trophy

Re: Props

Another option you might want to take a close look at with the 250xs is the 26 pitch Bravo 1 xs. We started putting Bravo 1's with big exhaust vent's on the 250xs motor's on z520's back in '08.

Re: Best Prop for 07 150 Opti / Triton 186?

With your jack plate set at the correct height, a 24 Tempest or Trophy should run well on your boat. you will get better lift out of the Tempest. You MAY even be able to squeeze a 25 depending on what elevations you are running at. A 21 mirage II is most definitely not the right prop for your boat. ...

Re: Recommendations on a prop

The 23 pitch Tempest or 23 pitch Trophy are the two choices that will run the best on that set up. The 25 pitch have a tendency to not pull enough RPM on the 175's when set up properly. Give us a call at the shop (530) 275-4939 and we'll help you get it propped right.
