I know there are a ton of propeller threads on here. I've searched through them, read most of them, and even commented and given my own advice in some of them.
My question, posed to you guys: Mercury 14.25x21 Aluminum 3 Blade Prop (Factory) Vs. Turning Point 14x21 4 Blade Aluminum Prop. Which one is better for all around use (pulling a tube, running at WOT, cruising, etc.)?
Will I see a noticeable improvement in going with the 4 blade aluminum prop over the 3 blade aluminum prop?
Will losing .25 inches in diameter matter that much?
Should I stick with the same pitch (21)?
Let's hear your input, guys. Thanks in advance.
PS: And before you respond, I have already ruled out getting a stainless prop. I just don't want to spend the money on it right now (AKA wifey says stop putting money into the boat).
