    Prop pitch for 15hp converted Johnson

    From the research I have done the 92 9.9 adopted all the change(tuners, reeds etc) and the only difference was the carb. My local lakes are a 20hp limit or trolling motor only so I’m just trying to make sure with what I have until I can upgrade all together. I’m pleased which the increases I...

    Prop pitch for 15hp converted Johnson

    Yeah I just wasn’t sure if I should waste the time and money to see if the 8 pitch would plane. Cause I’d imagine if I got on plane I would gain a little speed due to not plowing. Guess there is only one way to know for sure haha

    Prop pitch for 15hp converted Johnson

    Yes I have one on there. Yeah I know it’s not the ideal motor. I’m just trying to get the most out of it. Most lakes I fish are troller only or 20hp limit. I was gonna try to get a 20 but it wash much cheaper to try the carb swap. I’m happy with the results for what I need, like I said just...

    Prop pitch for 15hp converted Johnson

    I have a 1992 Johnson 9.9 that I installed a 15 hp carb on. It’s on a 92 Tracker guide v16 with a small front deck. Gained about 4-5 mph on average with different weights in the boat. Currently have a 9 pitch prop on and got 14mph at 5650 rpm with two guys, two 29 group batteries, two trolling...

    What year evinrude 15hp carb

    I have a 92 Johnson 9.9 with the plastic top carb. Will the older metal top 15 hp carbs work with my motor? What years will or won’t?

    9.9hp 2 stroke vs 15hp 4 stroke

    I have a 1985 evinrude 9.9 2 stroke and may have the opportunity to buy a 2006 Johnson 15hp 4 stroke. It is for a 14ft aluminum semi v boat. What are the advantages and disadvantages? Will there be much difference in power since the 15 is a 4 stroke? Thanks

    9.9 prop pitch suggestion

    That's what I will do next outing. I messed with the manual tilt a bunch. I dont think the bow is plowing cause it sits up a little and when I really plow it sprays water everywhere. Maybe I need it lighter up front to pop the rest of the hull up easier. Hopefully it will be as easy as moving...

    9.9 prop pitch suggestion

    Battery is up front and passenger is in front most seat. Thought about moving passenger to middle seat. Im not getting excessive bow rise. I feel like I'm right on the edge of planing with 2 and onces I get there its great, you can tell the motor isn't working as hard

    9.9 prop pitch suggestion

    So did some testing this weekend... with just me the 9 pitch was pretty much perfect. Got on plane and topped out at 20.2 mph at 6090 rpm. However with my girlfriend and I I could barely break plane and would stick around 5280 rpm and 15.5 mph. When I occasionally did get on plane after cruising...

    9.9 prop pitch suggestion

    Thanks. Wonder if I should be looking at an 8 or 9 instead of the 7. How much rpm did you gain from the 9? I was figuring 200 per inch.

    9.9 prop pitch suggestion

    I have a 14 ft aluminum sea nymph 14k which is just an aluminum semi v with an 85 evinrude 9.9. I believe it has the stock 10 pitch prop and I am getting about 4850 rpm and 14.5 mph with 2 people, 3 gal of gas and 29 group battery. About 5080 rpm 17mph with just me. I will usually be riding...
