    Prop Pitch

    I have a 2017 Tracker with a 75hp 4stroke Merc. I am running full throttle 4800 rpm @ 38mph (gps) The specs say I should be 5200 full throttle. I am going to a SS prop to minimize scrapes and dings. My question..should I change my 17 pitch prop
    to a different pitch to gain a couple hundred rpms?

    I have a Sptifire X7 17 on mine and can get almost 5000 (38mph ish). The three blade aluminum black max 17 would get about 5200 (40mph ish). What hole are you in? May consider that.

    Going from a 17" aluminum to a 15" stainless shouldn't change anything.

    Which hole would be best to get on plan faster. Have a tracker with 50hp.
