Fury 24p 4 blade on 618

[Gar35]

I’ve been running a 23 tempest since new on my pro xs 175. I really wanted a 24 fury 3 blade instead but went with the tempest. I feel like living in the Deep South and low elevation that the fury 24 would have been better. I’m either gonna buy a furry 24 3 or 4 blade this year. Does anyone have any experience with wither

A 24p fury is equal to a 25 tempest rpm wise. What are your rpms with the 23 tempest?

[Gar35]

5900-6000 WOT. Mercury website claims of you run the 24 fury 3 blade that you can run a 24 4 blade

Are those rpm's from analog gauge or merc monitor???

[Gar35]

Analog. It has never hit the rev limiter

[fishin couillon]

My bet is that the analog gauge is not correct as in most/all cases.....you think you turning those RPM's until you see it on a MercMonitor and it a lower....max for the 175 is 5750 (per website)....so i'd think that the if you were turning that much the limiter would have kicked in.....just my thoughts....

[Gar35]

I’m quite aware that the analog is probably off. All I’m asking is if anyone has run a 24 fury 4 blade. I know some run a fury 24 3 blade. According to Mercury if you can run a fury 3 blade a 4 blade should work fine.

From everything I've heard and read, the pitch stays the same from a a fury 3 to a 4.

[Wackyjig]

The 4 blade will usually turn a touch more rpm (100-150) than the 3 because the 4 likes to run about an inch higher p2p

I have a 175 as well, it has a 24p tempest+. WOT I turn 5950-6000 rpm. I would think you would turn more with just a 23p

I have the Fury 24 4 blade on the 175 pro xs on my 618. I have not bumped the rev limiter, it is 3 3/4" below the pad. Full gas tank loaded with tackle and 2 200 pound fisherman it runs 64. I have seen 67 in great conditions going with the current. It handles great and the hole shot is better with the 4 blade that the 3 blade I had.
