    Spitfire on 115 4 stroke merc

    Ran a 15p spitfire on my boat today. Nice prop smooth good hole shot. I have a 03 yamamerc 115 on a 01 bayliner 184 fish/ski. My normal prop is a 16p vengeance that fully loaded will run me about 5900 rpm at 41 mph. The spitfire I ran today was just me so I figured it would overrev a little, so...

    Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I have a 03 Merc 115 picked it up out of storage and it had leaked some trim fluid so I topped it off with ATF. Let it sit for a couple days and didn't seem to leak. Took the boat out today for first ride and checked it when I got back and it was low. I...

    Anyone running a spitfire on a 115

    I am intrigued about these new spitfire props. I run a ss three blade but was looking for a 4 blade as my backup for my merc 115 4 stroke, and to use for watersports with bigger skiers. They say lose no top end and gain all the best things about a 4 blade, I doubt the claim about the top speed...

    Vengeance vs Turbo

    Hi guys just recently posted about a 16p vengeance I put on my 03 115 merc 4 stroke. Local prop shop had my name down because I told him I was looking for a vengeance. But he called to tell me he has a 13 1/4 x 16p Turbo prop. So now I am intrigued because I never tried a turbo prop before...

    SS Prop Rpm question

    Hi guys I just put a post about a 16p Vengeance I put on my merc 115 4s. It performed well, better than my black max. The one question I have is that when I give it full throttle out of the hole the motor goes all the way up to around 5900 and then settles a little once I am up on plane. It...

    Vengeance Prop Number ???

    I am going to try out a vengeance prop, it is a 16p. I asked the prop shop for the numbers just to make sure it was correct. They gave me 48-835479A45. I can't find this number anywhere, the prop I want is a 13 1/8 x 16p Vengeance. The prop shop says it is a vengeance and says 16p right on...
