Started out at 3.5” PTP. It actually ran good there. I raised it in 1/4” increments until 3” PTP. May play around with it more when weather is a bit better.

They want you to go through the dealer if possible. My dealer didn’t seem real interested in doing that although he did one for me before. I shipped mine back myself and covered shipping and...
Sounds like I need a 10” jack plate.
I’m running 3” PTP on a 6” jack plate running 20 psi on water pressure.
Jessxpress I’m at 3” PTP and have a 6” manual jack plate. I only lost 1.5 mph running the TRO4 but the lift and handling are worth the trade off. Much easier to steer and zero chine walk @ 60 mph....
That last couple of weeks I’ve been talking to Jared at Power Tech about the situation we all have experienced with the OFX props that Xpress shipped on our boats. They will tell you that is the...
Appreciate the replies!
What's the rule of thumb switching from 3 blade to 4? Go down 1 or 2 pitches?
Recently picked up a Winchester 1886 45-70. Another of John Moses Browning's masterpieces!
Out of curiosity I was wondering if anyone has had any experience running a 4 blade prop on an X19? Currently running a 23P Tempest Plus on a 175 SHO.
First thing to do is ditch the PT prop. Yamaha props are hard to come by. You might be able to get on a waiting list for one. Meantime there are several props that people have proven will work. I'm...
Mercury Tempest Plus 23P.
You are at the same place as my X19 175 SHO. Although my prop is a 23p Tempest and I'm running 61. Like you I need to slightly over trim to hit 6000 rpm. I'm going to raise mine when I get back in...
Crowley Marine will show that they have them in stock when they don't actually have them. I got excited when I found their site sometime back. I called and they did not have them. I would call them...
FXP's are hard to get. At least when I looked for one. I have a 23P Tempest on mine. Same boat motor combo as your friend. As everyone said, get rid of the PT prop. I have mine for a spare just to...
Let us know how that Fury turns out. I almost went that direction but opted for the Tempest.
To answer your question rpms are turning 5600 @ 60 mph gps. The ptp was at 3.5" on that run. Water pressure is still at 24 psi. I've raised the motor another 1/4" but have to wait until I get back in...
Running a 23 tempest plus on a 175 sho X19. Still tweaking jack plate. Tried a 21 just to see. RPM's turned 6250.
With better conditions I have made several runs with the 21 pitch tempest plus. RPMS are running 6200-6250 with GPS speed 60 mph. Sending prop back to Rothwell for an exchange to a 23 pitch. Should...
Most of the guys here were able to aquire the Turbo FXP props before they apparently started making them out of unobtainium. The Tempest Plus is turning out to be pretty good and its available now....
After several conversations with the guy's at Rothwell they talked me into getting the 21 pitch instead of the 23. They all told me that if my motor was only turning 5000 rpm with the PT OFX I wasn't...
I just ordered one from Rothwell yesterday. I'll post results from my x19 175 sho.
I can recommend UBG Leather. I have 4 IWB holsters from Gabe. Quality gear at a reasonable price with decent turn around time. He has a website. It will show what models he makes leather for.
