Default Re: Transom Bracket - twin outboards

I'm running a 15x15 4B PowerTech. Blades supposedly have the old OMC SST profile. I ran an SST on my old 115 and it was an excellent prop. Not sure it's the optimum prop because it's about 0.5 mpg worse than my 14x20 Michigan Apollo 4B, but it seems to have decent stern lift, turns about 5450 with max load, gives me an awesome hole shot, gets on plane at only about 40% throttle, and lets me plane at about 12 mph with a very heavy load, which is nice in rough water. The Apollo seems to have even more stern lift even though it's supposedly a bow-lifting prop. Would like to try a 4B Apollo with less pitch or a BRP Cyclone 4B to see if I could still turn max rpm at max load but get a little better mpg.
