Hi all looking for some feedback,
i just repowered from a 1998 mercury Optimax to a new to me 2008 Suzuki DF 150 on my 1998 Ranger R82. it came with a 14", 19P aluminum prop, which would not have worked, so i tested the suzuki with my merc prop. 14", 4 blade, 24P, SS. with this prop on the Suzuki, i was running just over 50mph, but engine RPM's at 6300. Anyone have a similar setup for boat & Motor? If so what prop are you running?
My dealer said he has a 14.75", 3 blade, 23P, SS that would bring my RPM's to about 5800RPM. but at $1400 for the prop i really hope he is right. hoping someone can provide insight on any recommendation?
At WOT, 6300RPM, i would have no rooster tail whatsoever. Is this just the motor itself, or i need to adjust height of motor. No Jack plate at the moment....
Thanks
