The 15.6 x 13 props made a huge difference in the hole shot. Planes off in 10m-15 seconds with a full load of fuel now. Better than expected. WOT turns at 6300 and am able to cruise at 5K rpm at 25 mph. Very happy with the change in performance. Really appreciate the guidance from all who...

Anyone have a source for gauges and bezels?? Mine are working but pretty tired. Looking for an in season project. Thanks!

Wanted to follow up on this post about the 15.6 x 13 props. It took some doing to find them but we just launched for the season up here in NY and what a difference these props made. (BTW - found the props at Prop Depot out of Tennessee. They were extremely helpful and I would highly recommend...

Would appreciate a report on the Sharrow prop performance at some point.

Congrats. Please let us know how the boat responds with the new power.

Just a follow up to the prop discussion. Found a set of 15.6 x 13 props at Prop Depot (Tennessee Propeller). They are the only distributor who had any inventory. Nick (owner) and his team were amazing to work with and full of knowledge and pricing was extremely competitive, plus free...

Is anyone out there running a 4 blade prop on their Venture? If so, what geometry are you running and what performance are you seeing (hole shot, cruise speed & RPM, WOT RPM & Speed) Been looking for the 3 blade 15.6 x 13 but cannot locate stock anywhere and am hearing that Mercury may have...

Thanks! I’ll report back when the new props are on this spring.

Hi. Just saw your post. It's giving me hope we can find a solution to our performances problems. We purchased our Venture a couple of seasons ago. We're having similar issues on our 2014 370 with the hole shot. After you switched to the 15.6 x 13 prop, what RPM and speed do you cruise at...

Can't thank you enough for the guidance!! Really appreciate it!!

What propeller geometry are you running?

Yes, so running true would mean a comfortable cruising speed (25-27mph) at a comfortable RPM. With the original 15.3 x 14 wheels, I had to turn 5,200-5,300 to keep the boat on plane at 25MPH, burning close to 35 GPH. Below that speed, the boat starts to squat and fall off plane using auto mode...

Thanks for the thoughts. I wanted to go to a 4 blade prop for the extra lift and mid range performance last season. My guy told me I couldn't get low enough pitch but I see the PowerTech wheels go down to 12". I ended up with a PowerTech16 x 15. I'm really struggling with what is the right...

Thanks for the input. I'm guessing on the OFS4 the pitch would be 13 at most? Do you know anyone running these props? When I re-propped last season my custom guy told me that I couldn't get 4 blade props with a low enough pitch. Guess he was wrong. There are so many options it's hard to...

Thanks for all the feedback people. Regarding trim at hole shot, motors are trimmed al later way down, tabs all the way down, every time. The props that were on the boat when we purchased it were 15.3 x 14 Enertia. The boat did plane under full load but I did not like cruising at 5,500 rpm to...

Anyone heard of trying hydra-foils for more lift out of the hole?

What whould you recommend then? Trying to find a balance between getting on plane and not over reving at WOT. Do you know the recommended max RPM for these Verados? With my original props I was topping out at 6400, which to me is way too high. Had way to many mechanical repair issues.

Greeting all. New forum member. Saw some prior posts about alternate prop geometry. We had a custom prop house sell us 16D x 15P Enigma knockoffs this past season. RMP lowered to 5600 at wide open vs. 6300 with original props. Still takes about 20 seconds to plane off with moderate load...

Looking for help with planing issues.

Greetings fellow Venture owners. Purchased our 2016 370 in May of 2021. Saw some of the threads about planning. We have the same issue.
