I have a 19 foot bay boat with a Suzuki df140 and a stainless 3 blade 14x22 prop. My rpms wide open are pushing 6500, however Suzuki recommends 5600-6200. What prop change would you recommend?
You have two options.
1) You could try switching over to a 4 blade 14"x21 4 blade SS prop (which we could sell you).
This should drop 300-400 RPMs.
2) Or you could take your prop somewhere (or send it to us) and get another 2" pitch put on the prop
so it would be a 14"x24". This would work, but I am always a little nervous about getting the diameter
and the pitch so far apart. It sometimes means it is hard to go slow.
What MPH are you making with your existing prop and how big is your boat?
