I don't really know if I care about whole shot more than getting more cruising speed. So it sounds like a 3 blade 15 pitch, but what diameter? 13?? Thanks for they help guys |
Yeah, that prop is the right one but the wrong shape - it should have more curves...
You have the Mercury Black Max there.
The 15p has a 13-3/4" diameter. Quicksilver model is called Black Diamond, QA2034X is 15p model no. 17p has 13-1/4" diameter, model no. is QA2036X. Should be same sizes for Mercury Black Max.
You will do much better with a new prop. Any shop should have this prop used, in good shape. Try them both pitches with a "heavy" load. If regularly run with 3 people, I'd stick w/ the 15 pitch.
When you run them monitor your rpms. You should be able to achieve the maximum targeted rpms for your motor at WOT.
Good luck! Keep us posted on your performance results.
