    BRAVO FS Z520L

    I just ordered a Bravo FS 25" Lab Finish for my Z520L 250 XS Four Stroke, for either spare prop or main. Currently have a Fury 3-23". Should I plug all four holes or keep all of them open? All three are currently open on the Fury 3-23".

    Hope it works out, I have read mixed results in this forum.

    I would try with all plugged and if holeshot was good leave it that way.

    I have run a 23 Fury, 24 Bravo FS, and a 22 Tempest Plus on my boat (see below). All have been plugged with the solid plugs and have a great holeshot.

    Ran my new Bravo 1 FS 23.5 pitch plugged, hole shot is incredible. Also lifts boat better overall. Four stroke motors will jump up on pad in a heartbeat with the vent holes plugged due to low end torque vs. 2 stroke that needs higher rpm to get going.

    I would run all 4 open first. Then plug off some with solid plugs as needed.... If at all.
