    Mercury Props.....Tempest Plus an Fury....questions

    So before I buy (and or repair) yet another 2ply soft Raker HO I am thinking of trying a few props. I ordered a merc hub kit for the G2 it will be here Tuesday and I have the following to try.....anyone ever run these props on a G2 and can give me some feedback. I always ran a Tempest Plus on my HPDI.

    Current setup 2008 Stratos 201xl 2019 G2 250 HO 10ft poles tournament loaded boat.....

    Current prop Raker HO 26P 5900/6000 @ 73/74 ( I have a 28P HO that I run in the cold weather turns 5700@76.5)

    I am going to put the 27p Tempest i had on the boat with the Yamaha first....then try a 26p Fury....thoughts???

    The metal in those props is night and day stronger then these rakers....

    Any feedback appreciated.

    Not a G2 but with an 03 250 on Sprint I've fallen in love with the Bravo 1 props....spool up great for hole shot and good bow lift. This is the Gen 1 prop without the pvs holes. The newer ones have dual pvs holes. I run a 26 in summer with the flare cut off the barrel to 6k if not watching....turn the 28 to 5600 in winter.....thinking of having Mark to work the 28 to a 27. This engine is not an HO....

    I only run mercury props on my g2. I do have one of the new rakers but it stays on the shelf. Be sure to get the metal hub insert if you run long distances. Youll find a mercury prop youll love- rothwell marine has a trade program so youre not stuck with a bunch of props you dont like til you find the right one.

    Defiantly better with the 27 Tempest (80 degree air and 83 degree water temp)....75 down river 73.9 up river @ 5700/5800...the motor likes to be up on the plate higher with this prop then the raker. Its rock solid at 73/74 and the holeshot is better then the raker. I have 26p fury to try tomorrow as well. It just handeld better all the way around over the Raker 26 HO.
