Raker II

[bassone]

Could someone help? I'm running a raker 14 1/2 X 22 ss prop i'm needing to drop between 4 to 500 rpms, rule of thumb would be to go to a 24 pitch prop but i want to go to a raker II which would be around a 23 pitch, they dont make it in a 14 1/2 X 23, they make it in a 14 3/4 X 23 would that work, what would the 1/4" bigger prop do hurt or help, sorry so many questions just dont want to buy the wrong prop, thanks

Re: Raker II

Is there a post here with your present performance?
If you could remind us of your motor/boat particulars, present wot rpm and speed
we could be sure a prop change is in order.

Re: Raker II

I recall now It did appear you were pretty normal but for the rpm.The 1/4" diameter difference on the 23 shouldn't matter.
Based on the discussion on the Raker ll it seems a 24 would be too much.
