    Fury prop help

    I recently bought a fury 3-blade 24p for a 2012 Mercury 200 pro xs. When I hit 60.7 mph it blows out, what would cause it to blow out at this speed?

    Motor is too high, Or you bought a used prop that was repaired poorly most likely.

    Prop was bought brand new. I dropped my motor down an inch and tried it but it still blows out.

    Still might not be deep enough for that small diameter prop. 14 in is small for a 3 blade on a big block motor.

    Would it be better if I drop down to a 23p?

    Do you have a transducer or anything mounted on the transom that would disrupt the water flow to the prop.

    What is the P2P starting point you would recommend for a Fury prop?

    Is it blowing out on take off? If so, then definitely you need to add plugs.
