    Prop Selection

    Maybe we should make this a sticky, not just for this particular engine but for all... Im sure you guys have heard it thousands of times before...but...What is the recommended prop for a 2010 Yamaha VMAX 150 carbed? It came with a 23 powertech 4 blade. It is on a 20' xpress center console boat. Thanks in advance!!

    I'm currently running a 23M Yamaha prop that runs good and handles great, but have a 25M coming to try to lower my rpm's and raise my speed. I have a 25 pitch 3 blade Power Tech if you think you need it. This is on a 08 150 carb.

    Re: Prop Selection (secdawgs)

    Prop selection varies depending on hull design, load, and what handling characteristics you desire (speed, holeshot ect)

    For example, a 21 ft Bullet with a 250 on the back could probably run a prop with more pitch than a heavy boat like a Ranger with the same motor.
