I am searching for a way to test run a Mercury Tempest Plus 24p and a Mercury Fury 23p. I have been checking the couple of prop shops near me but they have not had either of these to test run. If you know of a way to make this happen, I would really appreciate it. I am willing to put up a deposit an/or pay a rental fee. It has to be cheaper than buying another prop that doesn't turn out to meet my needs.
Thanks!

Check with your local boat dealers. I know mine has a zillion used props and they'll let folks test them.

Check out rothwell marine. They have a trade in program. It might cost you a little in shipping or something but you can buy a prop and trade it in if you dont like it

You can contact Mercury and they will let you know who in your area has the demo prop program?
