    19 Pitch Tempest Plus Prop on Merc 2019 6cyl 4stk 200hp outboard question

    My dealer just phoned and let me know they water tested my new Lund 1875 Pro V Bass XS yesterday. Ran 6000 rpm / 56 mph. I really know next to nothing about props, (I've been running my Tracker with a 60hp Merc and a aluminum prop for the last 11 years). I had ordered the boat with a 22 pitch Tempest Plus cuz it was recommended to me (by one of the Wired2Fish folks that has been running this boat on a 200 Verado for the last 3 years) for solid hole shot and good speed. Guess what I'm asking is: Does it make sense to run the 19 vice the 22 due to the new 200 Mercs? Do the numbers I was given re: RPM and MPH sound about right for that prop? I have no jackplate and no idea what height the engine is mounted at. And I realize I may not even be asking the right questions... lol! Anyway, thanks in advance for any insight. Ken

    Dealer said with this new motor that 6200 was OK

    max rpm for 3.4 v6 200hp is 5800rpm!!
    200 pro xs v8 is 6200 rpm
    no way it revved to 6k
    so I'd confirm rpm with smart craft or vessel view.

    Yep. I just read an article that confirmed 5800rpm. Guess I'll just have to throw the VVmobile on it. Thanks!
