    27M on a 203?

    Looking for some input here. Recently repowered my 203 with a low hour 250 Pro XB. Have a chance to grab a 27M. Will the Yamaha provide lift comparable to the 25 Tempest I was running on my 225? Starting at 3 1/2 ptp and adjusting from there. Thanks.

    I don’t think that prop would work well on a XB. Try 27 Tempest Plus

    I would try the 27M and see what kind of rpms you get. That XB has a higher rpm range compared to other Mercs. Awesome motors but thirsty!
