Hello, I have an 1800 SR with a 3.0l merc. I am looking for a little more top speed as I tend to run WOT for a while to get to some of our favorite spots. My question is if I change from 21p to 23p and add smart tabs, will I gain more top end without feeling too much negative affect from the 23p? Is there anyone else running an 1800 SR with a 3.0l and 23p? If so what is your top speed? and What is your WOT RPM?
Thanks!
Tabs can be useful for helping to get on plane faster but the prop plays a large roll too. Suggest you make certain you are propped correctly first, then add tabs if still necessary.
A friend of mine has the same set up as you and he changed to 21" mercury Enertia and picked up 2-3 mph from his old 21". I think if you change to a 23" your motor will struggle to keep in wot rpm range. He also got improved holeshot. Tabs will help.
