it's gonna depend on the weight of the boat. here
So does the 13.5 diameter 4 blade Renegade sound right wth a 200 Johnson? I thought the V6's used 14 or 14.5 diameter, or are the 4 blades generally 13.5?
200 hp omc engine produces some fairly good torque and ports it's exhaust thru the case here
The Renegade Bass props were only 13.5" The offshore Renegades are 14.25" I believe. I used to run a 13.5X27 Renegade Bass on my Action to pull wakeboards. A smaller pitch would have probably been more ideal for pulling skiers but the 27 pulled em up easily. Great acceleration out of the hole but not nearly enough bow lift for my normal boating routine. more
the 4 blade may blow out. where as a good raker will just PULL. making the holeshot better.
The drive train is an important system on any engine-driven vehicle, car, truck or boat. For land vehicles, the system concludes at the tires, where the rubber meets the road. There, the choice is simple: select the right tire for the roadway and intended vehicle use. The difference for water-based craft is, of course, that the drive train ends at the propeller which is the liaison of horsepower to the water. Selecting the right propeller is very important. Boat propellers are available in a wide assortment of sizes and shapes. Sizes are referred to in terms of diameter and pitch. To make the best selection, sync the propeller to the manufacturer’s wide open throttle (WOT) range. The right propeller will turn the minimum engine RPM’s required by the manufacturer with its throttle fully advanced. [links]
Selecting the right boat propeller is key to maximizing your boat’s performance. You might well be pleased with the performance of the propeller that came standard with the motor, but you may be wondering if there might be room for improvement. For advice when selecting the right boat prop for your boat from our wide inventory of competitively-priced propellers, speak to the boating professionals at Wholesale Marine. We stock Michigan Wheel, Turning Point, Bravo and Quicksilver boat propellers to fit Evinrude, MerCruiser, Mercury, Johnson, Volvo Penta, Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda and more. Additionally we offer sturdy stainless steel, lightweight but durable aluminum and traditional bronze boat props for nearly every craft.
How can you tell if your boat propeller requires replacement? There may be an obvious reason for doing so such as if your prop has sustained visible damage to a blade. However, even when your propeller is performing within manufacturer’s recommended guidelines, often there is room for performance improvement. Reasons for replacement include:
● Close inspection reveals broken or cracked blades.
● Upgrade to different materials such as aluminum or stainless steel.
● Upgrade to a different number of blades, from 3 to 4 for example.
● Upgrade to a larger size boat propeller to improve acceleration and top end performance.
● Want to carry a replacement propeller on board “just in case.”
The next consideration is diameter. This will also determine the propeller’s RPM capabilities. Overall engine performance can be improved by selecting the right boat prop. The number of blades is also a consideration. “Standard rule” is the fewer blades, the faster the vessel, however, this rule is not cast in stone. The deciding factor will always be the particular application the boat is used for in order to determine the number of blades required to achieve the best engine performance.
