I also posted this in Triton, Props, and Yamaha foroms. Thanks
I'm looking to change props on my boat, right now has a 26M(only thing writen on prop)
Boat is a 2003 Triton TR-20
Motor is a 2002 Yamaha V-Max 200 with 3 blade 26M prop
Has 8" hydrolic jack plate
The boat is great once up on plane plenty fast for me I keep it mild at 60mph at about 5800 RPM starts chine walking at 63 so I'm happy at 55-60
This thing is a dog getting out of the hole, 3/4 tank of gas, 2 men at 225lb, both livewells 3/4 full, it takes about 100 yards before on plane, boats coming out of the 5MPH zone behind me are up on plane and passing me before I even get up.
I run motor to full down trim and near full up on plate to get best results,
if motor is down on plate 2-3" it will never plane
Also motor is a real dog with low RPM until boat gets movin is this normal? or do the Yamaha's when givin full throttle at start stay low RPM until moving good?
I've been reading different posts and answers and was wondering maybe a 4 blade prop in same pitch/cup
Or stick with 3 blade and change pitch and or cup?
