lund 1800 fisherman

Wondering what prop is best on a 1800 fisherman with susi 140 4 stroke and if shouldbefishn would let me know his dia/pitch
thanks

I don't know what prop is best for the 1800 Fisherman. I have a 140 on a 1750 Sportfish. I am running the 14x21 Suzuki aluminum and get good performance. 43mph @ 6000rpm WOT, full load.
Most of the input I received when I posed this same question was to go with the 14x21 AL or the 14x19 SS.
Propping has taken the entire summer for me but I think I'm close now.
Good luck.

susi-4man, welcome aboard.
In order to give you any recommendations on a prop we need a starting point. What are your RPMs at WOT and what dia and pitch prop do you have.

I have a 13.25 X 21 on at 5000 wot and it run to 38 can't trim as it cavitates immediately. I have also had a 13.25 X 19 on and it went to 5500 and 41 with a lot less
cavitation, both props are hustler AL. This looks like a terrific forum site thanks for the help

[Surface Tension]

Your WOT RPM range is 5500-6000.
I think your good to go with the 13.25 X 19 @ 5500 RPMs. Maybe sell the 13.25 X 21 and replace it with a 13.24 x 17.

My advise would be to get rid of the Hustler prop.
I tried the 13 1/4 x 21 and 13 1/4 x 23 Huster on my 1750 Sportfish and neither worked. That is when I went with the 14x21 Suzuki and I am now close.
Here are my results with the three props I have tried. My motor is mounted in the third whole from the top. All test results were with a full tank of gas, two guys and the dog (normal load for me).
Hustler 13 1/4 x 21: 42mph @ 6400rpm.
Hustler 13 1/4 x 23: 40mph @ 5500rpm.
Suzuki 14 x 21: 43mph @ 6000rpm.
Good luck and post if you find the "perfect" set-up.

susi 4man - I have a 14 X 20 SS Susuki. 45 mph (GPS) with a decent load. Hope it helps.

[shouldbefishn]

Thats at 6000 rpm

[susi-4man]

Thanks -- looks like i should get the sus ss
at 14 x 20 and see what goes..
One other question for shouldbefishn
What hole is your motor mounted to the transom in mine is all the way down with the cav plate about 1 inch below the hull
Have a great weekend
