I have a 1994 201 Stratos XL Pro with a 1994 Evinrude 225 with a 13.5 x 25 Renegade. Runs great, looking to purchase a spare prop and are great new prop. Someone recommended that I go to a 24' Turbo TXP 3 blade or a 4 blade Trophy 25.

Anyone have any experience with the either of the Mercury props going on an Evinrude?

Looking forward to seeing your comments.

Thanks,

Mike

Re: Mercury Props on Evinrude....

Assuming these are SS props so you don't have to change the paint color. Sorry, just kidding. From what I read OMC runs a 15 spline hub and Merc a 13 as I recall. So a rehub would be the only change if the blades do not strike the trim tab and the barrel doesn't rub the LU housing. The trim tabs may come in different sizes, or setback like Merc does. The rubbing could be solved with a spacer on your thrust washer that the prop pushes against as long as you can still get your prop nut and keepers on with at least a thread and a half sticking out. Not familiar with the intricate dimensions of either. Just general "look out for" input.
