Location: Spring Valley,Il. | I just bought a 2008 Skeeter wx 1880 with a Yamaha 150 four stroke.Was wondering if anyone here has the same boat,and what prop they are running,and what speed they are getting.Mine came with a 19 pitch and will go over the 6000 max RPM.Any suggestions.I was thinking of trying a 21 pitch prop. |

| Well i bought an 08 1880 with a 200hpdi and if i trim here out full gas and tourney load it runs 5800 which according to the book is to high so i have been backing it off and running 5500 i have a 21 pitch on mine and am thinking of moving up to a 23. i can't seem to get consistent answer out of anybody one guy says 5800 is perfect the next tech says run it at 5500. |

| You can go to the Yamaha web site and look up the specs on your boat and motor set up to find the rated RPM range. On my 250 HPDI I think it was around 5500...
That information should also have come in the owners manual with the boat???
Hope this helps!

| On yamaha's site they ran an 07 21 pitch at 5800 even though the book say 5500, i ran a 4 blade solas 19 pitch this weekend and wasn't impressed but my rpms were at 5300 but my speed was about 53, while with the factory 21 i am running 54.5 with tourney load and full gas and wells. |
