    Question Nitro Z21 Propeller????

    I’m running a 2019 Z21, 250hp Mercury 4 stroke and a 24” Fury prop. I’m getting a lot of cavitation in my hole shot. I haven’t tried plugs yet. Is a 25 or a 26 pitch a better choice? Will the plugs help with my hole shot? It literally feels like I’m doing a wicked burnout. It’s not so cool in a bass boat!!! Lol
    Any help is greatly appreciated:)

    Did the dealer send you the plugs for the prop venting?- I would plug them all and that should solve your problem.

    No, a 23p Fury is a better choice. Unless they removed them i believe it comes with medium plugs, I have never changed mine on my last 2 boats.

    The plugs definitely got me on plain and cut off about 1.5 mph. My top speed with a tournament load is 69.5 mph. It’s definitely worth the sacrifice:)

    The plugs shouldn't have any impact on top end speed...

    I agree with Bassmasterffej- plugs should have not effect on top end.
