294 Set Up

[LeeinAlabama]

I'm not familar w/ the Stratos, but my friend just bought a new 294 w/ a Yamaha 200. What size jack plate, prop, and motor height is recommended ?

6" plate and start at 3.5 below pad and move up in 1/4 increments keeping an eye on h2o pressure. My guess is he will end up somewhere around 3" below. I would also post in in the setups page. Todd is the moderator and knows the Stratos line better than most. Your friend has a rig that should run low 70's everyday.

judging from my old boat i would say an 8in plate, start at 3in below pad and go up from there.

dont know about props because ive always ran johnnys.

im sure some one else smarter than i will chime in.

6" plate, 3 1/2" below like previously mentioned....try a 26 raker, maybe a 27 tempest.

i have the ETEC HO on my 294, i turn a 27 tempest with no problem. run in the mid 70's with a light load.
