    What pitch prop

    I have a 2012 z518 Ranger, 200 Pro xs, 2 pp’s. I’m running a 24 Tempest. I took my boat to Lake Erie for the first time this past weekend. I definitely need a 4 blade. Do I need to go up a pitch, stay at 24 or go down to a 23. Thanks

    The 24 tempest is running at 5750 which is max. Cooler temps I hit the limiter. I don’t care about top end at Erie. More for handling rougher water

    Yes, But I couldnt suggest pitch w/o that info... I would get a 25P Bravo1XS and raise the motor a little.
