Susuki prop recommendations

#1 Post by Bigcranks » Sun Aug 21, 2016 4:04 am

I repowered a '96 premier 25 ft tritoon last week with a 2009 susuki 150 4 stroke. I am still trying to find the right prop. It came with a 28px14 3/4. Way too big. Found a 21.5x16 and tried it yesterday.Getting around 5000 rpms at wot. I'm going to run a 17x15 1/2 this morning. Not a lot of props around. Anybody running this engine and what's your setup?
Thanks

I think that 17x15.5 will be just about perfect on your toon, it may over rev a hair with a light load. Dropping from a 20 to a 17 on my DF140 brought me from 5200 to 6100 with a light load

Yep...close to right. 5950 with good lift, 4 people and 36 mph gps. 23" round logs and no strakes.
