There have been a few posts of late on propeller sizes. My 755 came with a Yamaha F200XB and ran pretty well with the 14.5”-15M Yamaha Reliance Prop. With this prop I’d average around 2.5MPG between 20-25 knots and could get up to around 31 knots.
I have now damaged the prop and am wondering whether anyone has tried a different brand or size that they liked better. I’m quite interested in the Solas or Quicksilver stainless props and would try a 4 blade if I could figure out sizing.
Anyone try something other than a 3 blade 14.5” - 15M that they preferred?

Have a look, for alternatives, to the mercury prop selector tool, props go also on Yamaha: www.mercurymarine.com/en/us/propellers/selector/#!/step-one Ideally you should ask for sea trials before you commit. Good luck!
