(boat has a bracket) Anyone think a 4 blade would help and if so what size and pitch. I am new here so thanks so much for any ideas or experience with similar set ups. Thanks for the great site!
Yes! I had the same motor on my 23, and the merc revolution 4 blade in 17 pitch was really great - MUCH better than the 3 blade.

The F225 was stolen and I replaced it with an F250. The 250 swings the same prop in 19 pitch

I highly recommend the 4 blade Merc props
