Got a 14.5X19 alloy non ported Mercury Black Max prop on my new 115. Trims out nice but when I back off the throttle say 1000-1500rpm the back end drops quickly and I start porpoising.
Empty 6000rpm 42mph
Loaded 5700-5800rpm 38.5-40mph
MAX RPM 6000rmp
Would a 4 blade prop fix my quick drop on the arse end. Keep it up there at lower RPM when it's already up on plane.
I think I am going to try a 14X19 alloy ported 4 blade Turning Point Prop. So Id add a blade and drop a 1/2 inch diameter.
Any sugestions?
