Hello all. I have a 2000 Sea Ray 340 Sundancer that was repowered recently with Mercruiser 383 Stroker MPI's. Same v-drives and currently running same original 3 blade props.
On WOT I am only reaching 4350 RPM's and I understand WOT for these engines are 4800-5200.
What I do not understand is how to find specifically what the best prop I should be using is? Everything I read talks about trial and error. I am hoping there is a better way, or someone who has already gone through this, since I pay $500 for each block and haul not to mention the high cost of new props.
I know they need to change. Just have no idea what I should be changing to. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith
