Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

Just raised the motor one bolt hole, second from the highest setting, and running the 14.5 X 15 Yamaha Reliance prop, 5900 RPM at 38 MPH in good 2FT confused chop. She was skipping across with a smooth ride, didn't even spill a drop of beer

Dang, that's nice!

Yes!!
In two months, I'm gonna get me some of the same action in St. Andrews Bay.

Sounds like your getting her dialed in! Great!!!

Yes, St. Andrews is beautiful, been there a few times, once we stayed in the park with our motorhome, and I had my old chris craft cuddy with us, great fishing offshore from there. Also, yes on the dialed in, its about where it's gonna be, I tried a 14P Enertia prop, but the diameter is 15 1/8" RPM was about the same as the reliance, but I lost a little speed, I think the slip ratio was a little higher on the enertia because of the reduced pitch, it held a little better in rough water, never tried to blow out (aerate) where the reliance will definitely blow out if you trim up more than about 50%, but the enertia has a huge rake compared to the Yamaha.

We are goig to try a Saltwater series on the new boat. I think I'll probably try an Enertia ECO and a Mirage Plus, too. I have 4 props for sale, so I'm gonna get them gone before I go nuts. Plus, I have to get the boat, yet! Friday..... yes!

What are the specs on the props for sale? I might be interested in trying couple on my Suzi if they are in the right size/dia/pitch arena. Gonna play with props this year after I raise my motor a hole or two..

Mine are all Left Hand rotation, which will work on a Suzuki, you just need to swap holes in the shifter. I'm down to 2 now, a Quicksilver Typhoon 141/2 X 17 pt# 6001 17 LH Rotation and a Mercury Enertia 14 1/2 X 17 pt# 48-898995 LH Rotation. Asking $275 each, shipped, without hubs. My 19 Mirage Plus and 18.5 Mercury Enertia ECO XP have sold.
