I have a newly installed suzuki 200 hp on a boston whaler 21 conquest . What prop do you recommend
?

Hi Trey,

We would be glad to try and help you out. Have you run the boat with the new engine yet? If so, what prop did you use, and what WOT speed and RPM were you able to achieve?

Typically we would recommend either a Mercury Enertia Eco or Powertech 3 blade LFS for this application. I would estimate either an 18 or 19 pitch, but would lean more towards the 19. If you have any current performance data you can share that would help us confirm the pitch size. We do have the Enertia Eco 16 X 18, Eco 16 X 19, and LFS 16 X 19 all in stock.

We also have a demo prop program and have the Enertia Eco 18 and 19 available. Shortly after the new year we should have the LFS 19 available for demo. If you have any interest in the demo program please give us a call and we would be glad to discuss the details.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I have not run the boat yet with the new engine and was looking for a starting point.

I have a prop from my old engine, its a mirage plus 48-18278. Can I start out with this prop?

This describes as a 15 1/2 x 17 Mirage. This might be a light starting point since your gear ratio is 2.59:1. I believe is better to start with a 16 x 19 either Enertia Eco or Powertech LFS.

You can try it to see what you get rpm wise.

Let me know if further questions!
