Prop for Outrage 19 II

Member Personal Page Posts: 8 Comments: 0 Joined: 08/08/08	Does any one have a recommended prop for an outrage 19 II with a Johnson 150 on it? Currently I'm running an OEM Aluminium 14.5 x 19. The boat runs about 43 mph WOT @ 4500 rpm. I'm think of the Solas HR Titan 4. Any thoughts would be appreciated?? John

The performance is excellent. I would also consider a 17" Mercury Enertia as an even better option over the Vensura if top speed is a consideration. Almost all of the bigger Boston Whalers are leaving the factory these days with Enertia props installed. If you don't want to pay for a premium Mercury prop, I would consider Stiletto, but from what I can tell about they way they agressively cup their props, you may want to step down to a 15" pitch from them. If you want to stay with aluminum, I think the Mercury Black Max line are the best aluminum prop on the market. I have run them, and they are remarkably good performers for the price. I have no experience with Solas.

Boat now runs 4800rpm @ 46mph. Althought I don't have numbers from my original aluminium prop, but cruise is improved to 26mph @ 3000 rpm. One con is that the stainless prop is much heavier than the original and as a result I get a big clunk when shifting into gear.

If he is running only 4500 as he posted in his first post, then that is really not enough even though it is in the range. Where is your engine mounted? All the way down? http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...cle_id=106

I can't help you unless you give us that information. See post #8 Where is your engine mounted? 4500 RPM at WOT is not enough. It is at the bottom of the scale and should be around 5200 to 5300 so you have the wrong prop or engine height or both.

There is no way that a 14-1/2" x 19" OMC/BRP propeller will run 43 MPH at 4500 RPM on a Johnson 150. There is also no way a 14-1/4" x 19" Mercury Enertia will run 46 MPH at 4800 RPM. The Enertia is a good prop to try on that boat/motor combination, though I am not sure it is the best. You do not want to run a four blade Solas HR Titan or a four blade Mercury VenSura. Stainless steel propellers weigh a lot more than aluminum propeller so there is a more shift clunk. That is not a problem; the motor is are designed to for it. You can use a shift clunk dampening hub kit if it bothers you, bit it is not required. Yes, that motor has a 4500-5500 recommended WOT RPM range so 4800 RPM is well within that but it's better to be in the upper half of that range and ideally, close to 5500 RPM at WOT, when lightly loaded.
