I was putting in gear ratio of 2.38:1 Instead of 2.38, all works well now. It shows me a 21% slip, not sure what to do with that to determine a starting point for a different prop??

If you try a 15 pitch, 5500RPM you will get a theo of 33mph. 12% slip is realistic on this boat which will get you ~29mph actual. That is what I am getting with my 2.07 gears and a 13 pitch.

Tom,
Thanks for putting the effort into getting me smart on this! I argued with Tracker over this very issue, that and the fact that the engine would blow out at the slightest trim or in turns. That issue is solved by removing the that fin under the transom mount. I did lose some top end speed doing it but the cavitation is gone!

My main concern to tracker was the max rpm's, once I removed the fin my rpm's dropped to 4900 from 5100 and I lost 3-4mph. I had done some research on Mercury's sight and there recommendation was a 15.5x15P prop. Tracker disagreed! :donno

Mike,

I will check the spitfire I took off mine. If it is a 15P, I would be more than happy to loan it to you to try.

Only difference between the 75/90/115 is the "ECM" and in the 75 there is an intake restricter...
