Four blade hi skew on 175 is the only way to go, great hole shot, lose 150 rpm at top end, but only couple mph. More forgiving as it wears wont spin out from wear like three blade stock. Gets my 2200 lb boat with 8 jugs of gas three people and camping stuff on step in four boat lengths. _________________ What was that noise? Glad wife didn't see the bill!! |

I just replaced my stock 3-blade impellers with 4-blade Hi skew and new SS wear rings. I run a 22' marathon with twin 175 SJ's. My top end took a drastic hit from 90KPH down to about 75 at WOT. 5400 down to 5100 RPM.
The boat has always popped out of the hole regardless of the impellers (twin engines) so I didn't notice much change there. The most drastic change was in cruising range. 50KPH at 3700 rpm. Previous 4200 RPM. Its like a different boat!!!! Very little speed difference between 3700 and 4500 RPM. Day in and day out, the Hi Skew are far superior for chuggin down the river. Won't take long for the decreased fuel consumption to pay for the parts. |
