Interested in more info on this as well. Help selecting pitch without having a current prop to compare to would be appreciated. Mostly running with 2 guys, trolling motor, battery, and cooler. I’m not super worried about top speed but I’m not sure if dropping all the way down to an 11 pitch is the right choice.
I run a power tech 10 pitch with a ton of cup with good results.... also running motor way up in the water column [prop shaft almost flush with bottom of hull .]] Jackplate with 4in set back....
Thanks for the reply. I have 2” extra set back and the bottom of the hull level with the top of the bullet. Think I’ll try the 11 pitch with extra cup and see how high I can raise the motor. Do you have any issues blowing out when running in a chop or turning?
When the prop is fresh I can leave JP all the way up most conditions.... prop will over time will slip in heavy chop with wear..... usually can get prop reworked three times before becoming a paper weight.... bare bones Gordon Ambush....
I had spear glades x with 25 2sk yamaha n used the sra 3 12, on a jack 19"high. Turned 5850, ran for 4 years. Motor was modified, probably 30+ hp.
