  • prop-17ss or 19m alum better fuel economy

    i have the right 2 props for my 2001 ox66 200 yam.the original - 19m aluminum. with that it tops out at 5000rpm.going to a solas 17x14 1/4 ss prop it tops out at 5500rpm which is reccomended.my question is which prop would get better fuel economy. i dont have a flow scan. with gas prices i am only running 4000rpm at about 23-25mph to save on fuel with the ss prop.wot i only get about 30-32 at 5500 so i am wasting the fuel at wot . i am not in any rush.if i put the 19m aluminum back on and still only run 4000rpm will my fuel economy get any better? the boat is a seapro 20001 21ft walkaround.thanks for any input

    If the SS prop will give you more MPH at 4000 rpm's than the alum then you may be able to cover more distance on same amount of fuel.
