ISO 4 blade Yamaha prop

I'm wanting to get a better hole shot on my 150 Yamaha on my 542. Anyone have one of these kicking around? I'm in Nanaimo.

Do you know what size (pitch and diameter) you will want?

Not exactly.. right now I have a 19 pitch x 14"... I'm thinking likely a 17 pitch and similar diameter?

I have a 14.5 X 18 Alpha 4 that may work for you. New in box with a hub for Yamaha. $100

What's your current WOT, and what is your current MPH at say 3800 - 4200?

What's your current WOT, and what is your current MPH at say 3800 - 4200?

WOT right around 6k, 48mph, at 4000rpm, 29 mph

Ohh wow. OK. Going bigger diameter and one small pitch down probly won't notice much at all. I'm sure a different style prop might end up with slightly different results however sound like you want an upgrade. If your getting 6 grand at WOT and 29 mph at 4 grand, why not try a four blade ?

If you were on the mainland I'd lend a couple 4 blades for you to try.
