Good afternoon!
I am new to this forum but i am in need of some help. I bought a 1996 maxum sr2 bowrider last night and have just 1 problem. The prop that is currently on the motor is this 5 bladed prop, i dont have any specs on it right now but I took it out last night and realized that this is a terrible propeller for this motor. If you are idling slow and then gun it, the rpms of the motor spins up and you can hear the prop spinning fast, sounds like its cavitating. Once on plane, you have to keep the motor trim all the way down... which causes you to have a bad ride in the boat, bouncing across the water. Once I trim up the slightest bit it sounds like it starts cavatating again. Soooo my question is what propeller would be ideal for this boat? 3 blade or 4? and what pitch and all that other good stuff. Any info would be helpful and I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
