    Bravo prop on E-Tec - Phoenix 920

    I ran this thread on the Phoenix Board with now help, so let's try here:
    I've been running a Raker 26 pitch on my E-Tec 250 HO. ( Phoenix 920 Pro-XP). I am usually loaded with fuel, live wells full, 5 batteries, etc. I'm looking for a better hole shot and planning better a slower speeds (I fish bigger water a lot). So I'm thinking of going to a 4-blade. Some have said the Bravo-I will fit the bill, but should I stay with 26 pitch or go down to a 25 Piitch?
    Also, a but confused on what Bravo model will fit my TRX (?) hub.
    Thanks

    might post also in the prop section and the set-up section--mike lohn is a great guy for info in here also.
    I would call mark at marks propellers for advice, I did and one try and I was dialed in perfectly. need to try a bravo1 or marks version. he will know the correct pitch. he will need you numbers so be ready if you call. max rpms mph max ect ect

    The Bravo 1 FS woke my rig up....I run a regular 250 and can turn a 28 P in cooler weather. The 26 I have will turn over 6k but I run heavy and it puts me on pad pretty quick. With the HO you should be able to turn a 28. The above advice is a good idea.

    Your question....Also, a but confused on what Bravo model will fit my TRX (?) hub.
    You must use the bravo hub kit made specifically by Mercury to fit the Evinrude prop shaft.
    the TBX hub kit, including its big thrust washer will not fit in a merc prop.
