Want to try a weedring with the Renegade Bass prop. Which weedring do I need? or Which gearcase do I have M, L, M2....?

Probably obvious, but I don;t know it.

thanks

OMC came out with a Service Bulletin (2662) which first brought the V6 ventilation ring to the attention of us OMC owners. Part number 126669. Some folks need it, esp on a heavier boat- in order to get out of the hole. I run a 27 Renegade Bass on a light boat and do not have any problems out of the hole. All depends on the boat/hull design, etc.

Thanks. That is the one I thought because I think I have a type "O" gearcase. Original prop is Shooter 13.25 x 25. Experimenting with Renegade Bass 13.5 x 23. Shooter runs well at speed, but takes a while to get the butt end out of the water. Also 'looses grip' in turns. Same thing with the Renegade right now which is why I want to try the weed ring.
I have a Cyclone (Renegade Offshore larger hub) 14.25 x 19 I use for skiing/tubing. It will get on plane in an instant but redlines at about 45mph.
This is on an 18' Stratos Fish and Ski.
Will the weed ring work with the Shooter as well. Kind of looks like it to me and the Shooter already has some ventilation holes.

thanks again
