6 inch th marine manual jp
turbo 1 17
5400rpm at 46gps trimmed out

Was running right at 6000 with stock alum prop and then put on turbo 1 17 and down to 5400. Gonna try to mess around with setup to see if i can get the new prop to spin alittle better.

This set up the boat needed more bow lift, and could take alot of trim.

Hi all. New to forum. Was wondering what prop to use to get the best performance from a 2013 H18PFC with a Yamaha 150 4 stroke and a 6" jack plate.

Thanks for any info.

New to the Xpress family (Xpress Spanky encouraged me to not be shy after I PM'd him) so here goes! I just bought my Xpress H56 last week - and haven't been out except the water test the day I bought it. It's an '04 H56 with a Yamaha 115 2 stroke and an 6 inch manual jack plate. We easily ran mid 40's on the GPS with nice hole shot. I was too excited to take notes of the actual RPMs. Currently running a 17" pitch Honda prop that the previous owner replaced the Power Tech 19" with (still have as a spare). Xpress Spanky informs me that with a 21" I may see better top end, but like I said - I haven't gotten out since purchase date. I'll post more as I "tinker". Excited to get her out!!

Open to suggestions!

Hey bud, did you ever figure your set up out? I just bought a 2009 X19 with 175 HPDI that came with a 4 blade Power Tech with a 23 pitch and I'm getting 61mph @ 6100rpms.. I want to try a 24 TXP and a 25 TXP see which will do me better,

[seapickle]

I wouldn't put any faith in Xpress on sending the right prop

[cvaldez]

Turns out that xpress has had some issues with the guys setting up the throttle cables. Most likely our problem is the cables need adjusting. Taking mine in tomorrow, having throttle cables adjusted and a JP installed. I'd bet jguin is having the same issue

[jguin]

I was told to check my throttle cables... everything looks like its opening all the way. I ill take it by the dealer tomorrow o verify. I was told by my dealer that xpress has been putting too big of props on the h-22 bay. I just bought a four blade prop will be able to run the boat in a few hours. I will post the results..
