I have a 2006 F150 on my boat and after tinkering with the engine height I still need some more rpms.
I'm running a Yamaha SWS II 15.5x17 and am running at 5650 rpms trimmed up. I need to be closer to 6000.
The SWS prop is actually too big for my engine. Its designed for 200hp+.
Will going to a SS prop like a Stilleto or Turbo in a 14.25x17 increase the rpms? To my untrained brain,it seems like reducing the dia. 1.25" would raise the rpms some.
How do these props handle rough water?
