Late Summer 2021 Mercury Prop Testing - Finding Best Prop for Your Boat

Part 2 of fall 2021 prop testing. Over the next few months we are going to do some prop testing that should indicate best props to start with if you are running a Mercury 250 Pro XS 4 stroke on wide body bass boats, that should include the Bass Cat Lynx, the new Puma STS, Phoenix 921 or PHX, Ranger 520 and 521 L, C, R, Vexus, Nitro, Charger and possibly even Skeeter boats and you might even find some of this translates to the Bass Cat Cougar, Eyra or Jaguar. Over the course of the next few weeks we will run Tempest Plus in 23, 24 and 25 pitch. Fury 3 in 23, 24 and 25 pitch, Fury 4 in 24 and 25 pitch and whatever Bravo or other props we can get our hands on. We will be reviewing slippage, that is prop slip at speed and also hole shot. As well as how to install and remove prop vent plugs, and how to remove and install the rubber press in hubs that run on the Torque Master lower unit.

In this video today we try the 23 pitch Mercury Fury 3 blade, the 25p Mercury fury 4 blade and a 25p 3 blade Tempest Plus and look at the slippage numbers compared to the 24 pitch 3 blade Fury I have been running. We also talk a little about the rev limiter on the Mercury 250 Pro XS 4 stroke motor.

We will repeat this test with the boat loaded the same in 60 or so days once the water and temperature cool down to see the impact cooler water and air temp impacts performance and how you might change prop pitches in the winter vs the summer.
