Need more rpm but don't want to lose speed

Re: Need more rpm but don't want to lose speed

Is the hub too big for the gear case or do the blades strike the housing?If they hit the trim tab/anode it can be removed or replaced
with a clearance anode.

The hub is too big for the gear case. It seems that my Suzuki has an OMC foot and the Mercury products don't fit...even though they say it will (according to my prop guy). Both the foot and the prop are 4.25 in diameter.

Michigan is coming out with a 13.8 X 10 4 blade in April that I'm going to try. I know that will fit since I have a Michigan / XHS hub set up.

I'll update in late April or early May. Again, I really appreciate all the feedback.
