    Swapping props on merc pro XS

    Hi fellas- please excuse my ignorance as I’m pretty new to a propped motor. I have a new merc 209 Pro XS with a Fury 3 blade 23p prop. I believe I need to drop to a 21p. Fury only goes down to a 22p so I’m looking at a Tempest plus. My question is- would I need a different hub kit to change from the Fury to the Tempest? Thanks for your help.

    The parts from your prop will fit the Tempest Plus.

    I went from a Fury 23 to a Bravo FS 24p and my spare is a Tempest Plus 22p. I like both of the better than the Fury.

    Thanks fellas. I’m only getting to 5640RPM and 63 mph @ 3400 elevation with the 23p. Figured dropping two pitches should get me a lot closer to the 6-6200 RPM my motor is rated for. Now to find a deal on a prop. Lol
