pontoon motor too high rpm

#1 Post by KENNY » Wed Sep 08, 2010 10:07 am

HELLO EVERYONE I HAVE A 22' 2010 BENTLEY (2) PONTOON 25" DIA. TOONS W/LIFTING STRAKES . IT HAS A 115 HP MERC. OPTIMAX. THE SS PROP THE DEALER PUT ON IT IS 14x11 AND IT SEEMS TO ME THE PROP NEEDS TO BE CHANGED BEAUSE ITS PUSHING LIKE 6K AND UNDER 20MPH. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS BOAT SHOULD RUN IN THE 30'S. PLEASE ADVISE IF SOMEONE KNOWS THE RIGHT SIZE PROP. THANKS KENNY

Probably need a 13p or 14p in the enertia should you choose to go that route. Guessing 31 or 32 with a 14 enertia.

Kenny, I would think you should see mid 30's at least. Keep swapping out props at your dealer till you find the right one. I would guess a 15p would be about right. Don't give up till it's right.
