    Prop question--fury 4

    Hi gang. I'm currently running a champion 210 with a 26p tempest. Works great until the
    livewells are full. Then she's sluggish out of the hole unless I raise the JP all the way up.
    Looking at a fury 4. Any of you guys have any experience? Should I go down a pithx to a 25 or stick with the 26p?
    thanks in advance.

    It depends on what your WOT RPM's are with the 26P Tempest.
    What motor?
    What are the current WOT RPM's?

    Guessing on the correct prop can get expensive, and could harm the motor. I suggest you get accurate RPM data @WOT, so you can get the correct prop for YOUR boat, the way you load it.

    Also- perhaps the most important: Please see the Announcements at the top of the forum, and provide the REQUIRED info. Thanks!

    That way we'll know which one of three (3) possible gearcases are on your engine.
