I'm trying to help a friend and am honestly curious to see how this motor runs. I have heard good things about them. He has a 2000 Ranger 518VX and just bought a 200 Suzuki SS for it. He's pulling way too many RPMs with a fury 26 three blade and his local shop is going to try a 28 four blade fury. I'm not sure what his prop to pad measurement is as the shop just put the motor in the same holes as the evenrude he was replacing. I'll get that measurement soon. Just seeing if anyone has good info on that prop would be a good start and whats the optimal prop to pad with no jack plate.
