hello a friend of mine repowered his phoenix with a 2025 mercury proxs 250 j\he has 13 hours on it but it doesn't matter what prop a 24 fury or a 25 fury wont go over 5800 rpms i told him check if mechanic set full throttle at 100 % that requires him to go back to shop where he purchased it any other thoughts on what to check thanks for your help
If throttle is opening 100% then it probably needs a 23 fury or 24" pitch Tempest.

23 tempest would put him right in the wheel house.

Unless that boat has next to no gear and the lightest trolling motor available, he's going to need to drop to a 23P Fury.
