I have a 2018 Triton TRX 20 Patriot with a Mercury 250 Pro XS 2 stroke that turns a Fury 25P Prop. Top speed so far has been 65MPH and the max RPMs have been 5400. Have tried different hydraulic jack plate heights. Has a hot foot so I verified it is getting full throttle. What prop to pad are people running? What trim height? I've read that I should hit 5850 for RPM and 70+. What am I missing? Thanks
My 2015 likes to run a couple bumps down from full trim. It runs best around 2.5 to 2.75 prop to pad. I do normally run Tempest plus props, but I always broke 70 with the 25 fury that it came with. Something is not right with your set up, prop, motor, or boat.
I have a 2018 20TRX like yours.Ijust put a Atlas jackplate and ran mine at 3" below pad .FULLY loaded,two people and full of gas 69-70 mph.25 fury.Just started playing around with it.
2018 20TRX patriot Mercury 250 pro xs optimax dual console manual jackplate dual 8ft poles 1 person half tank fuel empty livewells with tournament load of gear in boat.
jackplate 3.5” below pad factory setting with 25 Fury 72mph @5600rpms
moved jackplate up to 2.5” below pad with 25 fury and got 75mph @5700rpms
tried 24 tempest with 2 large pvs plugs and 1 small holeshot was same as fury but got 73.7mph @5900rpm boat had better lift and almost no chinewalk handled way better. If dialed in correctly the 20trx will be a stable mf.
