    Prop for 12 Ranger 521 with 12' talons?

    What are you guys running or do you recommend for a good overall prop for a 12 Ranger 521 with Evinrude E-tec 250.
    Twin 12' talons also.
    Thanks

    What about a 24 pitch Trophy or four blade Fury? Would those work or any one running those?

    This is my first Evinrude

    Definitely not a trophy. I would recommend a fury 4 though. If you've got 1.85 gears a 25 would probably run really well, if 1.75s a 24.

    A bravo would be good too but the fury 4 has more bow lift which rangers desperately need

    I bet a fury 4 blade would do well. How do I tell what gear ratio is in the lower unit?

    That I'm not sure of as I don't know that much about e-tecs. I think at one point they offered 1.71 and 1.86 gears.
    If it doesn't have a stamp or a sticker on the lower your best best is to ask on the rude board.

    1.86 and a fury 4 would help your holeshot with those heavy talons and not sacrafice too much top end, and get your bow up as mentioned.

    Yes I'm going to keep my eyes open for a used one. Thanks
