Campion 542 prop help

[Connor D]

Sorry guys another prop thread. Just curious what prop people are running with a 150 Yamaha on their 542. Want to get a new prop but the dealership around me won't let me trial props so I have to have a good idea of what I want.

Mine came with a 19p stainless.. I think it's a bit too much pitch as I only get 5300 rpm wot.

Edit.. nvm took it out today and with full trim it was around 5600-5700

 

[Catch 22]

I put a 17 pitch aluminum ( around $300’ish at GA checkpoint) on mine this past year. If you are going out with 3 or 4 people ( kids are big now! ) and gear etc the 19 pitch is a tough hole shot. The 17 seems better for overall performance, gets on plane a lot quicker. With the 19 pitch, sometimes I would have to get everyone move up front to get on plane, not anymore with the 17. I have trim tabs as well.
