Need Prop Help

[BlackKnight755]

I currently run through the hub props on my Skeeter Bass Boat. They range from 14 1/4" x 24p to 14 3/4" x 27p depending on the load and so forth. My question is this, I am wanting to try an over the hub exhaust chopper prop, do I need to go up or down in pitch or stay the same. I have a line on a 26 pitch Mazco if I can use the same size...<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Wayne

Re: Need Prop Help

Well its hard to say until you try, but choppers are designed to run piercing the waters surface, so you need to trim high or have a jackplate to make it worthwhile, also lower water pickups may be required, chopper props are usaully hard to get rid of because they have a limited application, so see if you can try it before you buy it.

You won't have any problem selling the Mazco if it doesn't work for ya.<br />You do need to run a higher engine height, but positive trim requirements will be less...we don't want to use trim to get the prop to surface.
