MF585 Prop Size

[rigiver]

Hi

can anyone out there help, I have a MF585 fitted with a Honda BF50 outboard. With two people onboard the boat is fine but with four she will not plane and does at best 7kts. It may be the engine is to small but I have been told the prop size might be wrong.

Does anyone out there have a similar set up and or any experience and could they tell me what size of prop they have fitted. I would even be interested in the prop size of a suzuki 50hp on a 585.

Thanks

I think that due to the weight that you are trying to carry you will not get it to plane easily with that sized engine

mine does ok with 4 on but i do have a 90 on it


what prop size do you have now and what max revs do you get with 4 on then it can be worked out
