2020 MERC XS 300, Ranger 520L 23p fury - Prop slip at all ranges

[gobbler]

23p fury - It seems at every speed/rpm and (Atlas) height I cant get any bite or consistency. I fish rougher than flatter water and would give up Mph for traction. Ive tried open and closed PVS. Wether it is flat or 2 footers, I cant bite at all speeds and the RPM's bounce and cavitate.

Any thought?

First thought is you need to get the prop worked to make sure you have a true 23 on all blades. Then you can get base line numbers.

Prop is too small in diameter for that motor and boat. Big HP, Big/Heavy boat, Big waves calls for a BIGGER diameter prop with more blades...

Thanks 21xdc.

Any recommendations what to try and borrow to test before buying?

TEMPEST plus then send it out to be worked.

14-14 5/8 in diameter 3 blades are not the best choice for rough water and bite... No matter if it's worked or not.

What is your current WOT RPM's with the 23P Fury?

[gobbler]

6000 easily...but slips at lift and WOT.. looking for stability throughout

[Savage]

Something is wrong here, the prop should NOT slip and have no bite at WOT. I can see it over-revving, but not slipping. If the prop was truly slipping and without bite, then you should be tripping the rev limiter.
