    Best prop for 200HO?

    I have a 2003-200HO Rude on a 519DVX with no plate. I alternate between a 26 Raker and a 25 Renegade and both under perform.Have not had boat out this year but last year was only turning 5400-5500 RPMs with either.

    I run a 2004 200HO and like to be able to turn it up to 6K RPM. With no plate you are probably running pretty deep so I would try a 24 Raker or Tempest. That should help get your RPMs up and improve hole shot.

    Yep. You are running too much pitch on that setup. 24 Raker should be a performer, so long as it is a known good prop (not damaged or defective).

    Is there a 4 blade for the 200 rude you might suggest .
    I have similar setup - 24 pitch Raker II but am thinking that a 4 blade is the ticket for hole shot improvement.

    I would suggest a 23 pitch Renegade Bass prop for a 4-blade option if you are pushing a heavy boat. I ran a 25 on mine and it performed very well.

    Jumping Jimmy- checked for a 4 blade prop locally and I 'm told that on the new L2 case they have a bigger bullet and the older renegade 4 blades will not work. There is an RX4 that could work.
    Still a few weeks here before season. Waiting for ice out.

    For my L1 case I used an exhaust ring. It is a plastic ring that inserts into the rear of the bullet. See if they have one for the L2 case.
