    You’re running a wild card setup. Yamaha owns Skeeter, so any non Yamaha setup on anything newer than 20 years is going to be trial and error.

    All you can do is start here and see what it does....

    Saltwater wiring harness.

    Nobody is going to have any history on your exact rig. With any unknown setup start with what you’ve got and see what it tells you.

    Wildcard setup.
    I’ve never heard of that motor getting rigged on that boat. I wouldn’t have any expectations until I ran it and let the boat tell me what it wants.

    He absolutely is setup wrong.
    His prop is too big and no one ever can run at that motor height. Assuming he measured correct.

    You have a big load for a small motor.

    More setback NEVER improves holeshot. It might not hurt it but it won’t help.

    Prop choice is always what gets you to the top of your rpm range, so...

    Skeeters need all the bow lift they can get, they start to run to their potential when you can compress air under the hull.

    That usually equates to a high rake three blade prop stuck down in the...

    My vast knowledge is void of Johnrude details. I know it's a strong motor, but how strong? Dunno, let's see what kind of prop you can twist.

    If you're propped correct, there shouldn't be any difference.
    The theory is, if you're running a lower gear ratio, you can run a higher pitch prop, if they both are at 10% slip, the larger prop...

    I want to know your WFO results, full throttle, full trim. There are only a few boats that run what you're thinking is neutral trim. That nitro is not one of them.

    IF you're fishing big water, then 201 is a great choice. If you're not, you'll find it a little cumbersome compared to your 184. One of the things I'm not a fan of is the 201 deck layout, that hole...

    If you're just going to replace with hydraulic, cut them off with a saws all. There, easy breezy.

    Simple answer, your prop is too high and your prop is cavitating. Start dropping it down 1/4" at a time until it stops. Charger is not a lightweight hull, you gotta have the prop stuck down in the...

    It's all about prop slip and handling a fishing load.
    A 18" prop working at 10% slip is going to be faster than a 19 running at 15%.

    You always want to be at the top of your rpm range.
    Why?
    Everything works better.
    Holeshot is quicker
    Acceleration is quicker.
    Far less strain on bearings and lower unit gears.
    Good news...
