So I have my new 406 in the boat, runs great, everything is great with it. But my prop slip numbers are not consistent at all. At WOT... one day its 15%, next day 22%, another 18%.... why is this? rpms are pretty much always where they should be at 5200-5300 at wot. MPH is off... of course...

Running a laser 2 25p. Could the blade area be too small? Go to a mirage+ perhaps? I'm getting 65-72 mph with this prop.

Also... when coming on plane, which take longer then I think it should. The rpms will surge up too 4000 and then go back down too 2500.

Any insight or help would be very helpful... I fellow boater in my area said I could try his 23p mirage+ if I put a 300 deposit down for just in case break it you buy it situation
