    Tempest Plus question??

    I'm looking at a used Tempest Plus 25P for my 1998 200 Merc EFI. The guy said it was used on a 225 Yamaha V6. Will it just fit right on my Merc?

    Way to much pitch for your ranger I think, most likely a 23 would be needed depending on many variables and gear ratio

    I think the 25P is a good choice for his 200 hp.

    If under 500 ft in the summer, I would anticipate about 5500 rpm with a 25 with dual Blades hung on it and a 1.87 gear ratio, Does not mean I am right, just my opinion. I am sure of one though, I would far rather work a prop up vs down
