    Correct prop?

    Just ordered a 19.5 with a Merc 200 V8. Does anyone have experience with the proper prop for this setup? I order it with a Fury 3 blade 23 pitch.

    I do not, but Im a 4 blade prop fan, and have heard with the newer 4s being out they are testing lower pitch props at select mercury dealers, I heard there is a 23 fury 4 out... but not for sale yet. That would probably intrigue you.

    I have talked with the factory about this. They strongly suggest the Fury 23 as a good all around solution for the 200 on 195 and 250s on the bigger models. They say it is the best all around solution. That said, I have not tested one on my boat yet..... Tempest 23 and Bravo 25 perfrom about the same on my 215 with a shade under 70 tops and great all around eprformance. I need to test a bit mroe SOMEDAY!!

    My partner runs the 23 Fury 3 with 6 inch setback on a 2020 195
