    Ideal prop size/Jackplate height for 2015 Couger FTD

    I was lucky enough to get set up with a new couger ftd that I have had since the end of summer and I gotta say if given the opportunity I'll never run anything besides a BCB. I've got a 250 Merc on a manual jackplate with a single power pole for right now I like to keep quite a bit of gear in it on tournament day and usually run it with a fishing partner so I want it to be set up for that weight load. The jackplate is even across the top which I think is about the lowest setting(haven't moved it from coming out of the factory) got a 25 fury on it now, it's pretty bad about blowing out but on a calm morning itl run 78-79 at about 75% trim turning 5800-5900 rpm.
    -I'm planning on going to bull shoals tomorrow to play with some props(most likely all fury) and I'll have my jackplate wrenches but I figure yall can save me a lot of troubleshooting. I've heard the Mercurys like the rmp so I was wondering if I need to be up around that 6100 range and would I be able to turn that if I bumped up to a 26 fury?
    -Anyways I'd sure appreciate the advice cause the quicker I get this figured out the more time I'm gonna have to chase some big blacks up in those bushes, Best regards Keeton Villines

    If you scroll down on the main menu page, there is a BassCat boat forum page. Guys may be familiar with your rig there and able to help. Don't know if you can move this question there or look for threads with people's set-ups.

    No luck looking there, lots of information just nothing similar enough to give a good comparison. Going to going to the basscat factory in the morning to get a switch replaced so I'll get one of those guys take a look at it while I'm there thanks for the input though!
