Has anyone run the Mercury Black Max prop? I have come to the realization that my current prop is just the wrong pitch for my boat. I will have a three blade LaserII 22p prop up for sell soon, but first I need to get another one.

Beware of the hub size, I believe you need the small hub for a 115 and I am not sure the Black Max came with a small hub. You might be able to use a 19p depending on which prop.

I'm looking at a 17pitch prop. a 17 will probably be too low. I don't remember the exact amount but thinking 150 - 300 rpms per 2". Cup will also make a difference. More cup will lower RPMs. You need to talk to Josh at Steve's Props.
