    Cx21 props

    Ok , so I know this is like beating a dead horse but who all has tried other props on a "21cx" not 20 . How well did it run and what was it. I run a 24 fury 73

    My boat came with a 25” fury 3 blade but I wasn’t getting good performance. I’m running a 24” fury now and have a 23” fury that will be installed in the spring. Seems like most people are either running a 23” or 24” fury 3 blade on their Mercs.

    Not a 21, Mines a 20. Ive ran 25, 24 fury. Ran a 24 tempest plus. Have a 23 fury for this spring to test. 24 runs best so far.

    I ordered a New 2021 CX21 DC and was told that it will come with a 23" Fury 3 Blades. That's what they are shipping them with right now.

    My 21 came with a 24 fury 3. I want a 4 blade for it and was told by someone who tested it on a CX21 to get a Bravo 1 FS 23.5” pitch. Supposedly, the Bravo 1 FS gives better bow lift and with the Caymas natural stern lift, it is a great combo. Ordered it and it shipped today. I will update after I test it out.
