My buddy has 2006 Ranger Z20. He's been running the prop it came with when he bought it used back in 2010. It came with a 25P Fury and someone recommend that he switch it out and go to a 24P Tempest. He did and it improved his hole shot and overall performance. I noticed that this prop throws out a pretty good rooster tail while the 25P Fury did not. Why the rooster tail now and is that good or bad? Thanks

Sounds like he raised his jackplate.

The tempest is a stern lifting prop. The fury more of a bow lifting prop. Because the tempest is running closer to the surface due to its designed lift he is now throwing a rooster tail.

The rooster tail should be about to the top of his cowling, if it’s there now, don’t change a thing.
