    Prop for 98 461vs with 175 efi

    Hello

    I just put some Powerpoles and a 6inch bobs hydraulic jackplate on my 98 461vs.

    the engine is a 175 mercury efi.

    current prop is a tempest 25p, but has a few blemishes.

    currently it doesn’t have a great hole shot.. what would be the best prop for this boat?

    25 tempest is the deal. A 23 would jump out of the hole better but you might swing too many rpm. 25 trophy would be better out of hole with more stern lift

    I ran the same rig without the Poles and jackplate. My holeshot was great with the 25" Tempest so chances are the Poles may be a drag. You might want to look at adding a few extra ventilation holes to the prop and rebalance prop. I did this to my Z520c and it helped quite a bit with holeshot.
