I have a V1800 Warrior with a 125 Merc on it.With a lot of help from WC I set it up with a 20 pitch High5 and performance really improved.Because of cold starting and not being real thrilled with the 2+2 feature on the 125 I'm getting a F150 for it this month.Any suggestions on a prop? I'm thinking of getting a 21 pitch alum. for a spare but don't know If the High5 will work on the Yammie or if I need to get into the Pro series Yamaha? My original problems with the 125 were poor planing and top end and the High5 worked great.Also I heard that Mercury props will fit Yamaha motors so I'm assuming the High5 will fit. Thanks for any help! WM.

I think that that prop will be too small for the F150 the diameter of the prop will be too small. 4.25" on the 125 and 4.75" on the F150.

The High Five will work on the Yamaha if you have a Flo-Torque hub. A High five is a good prop on that boat if it's a tiller I would probably demo a couple of props and maybe even look at a four blade Trophy. The 150 hp motor will have more torque then that 125 and might give the boat a whole different feeling. So try a few different props before you buy one and alos make sure that the prop is right for how you use the boat meaning full of gas , several people in it ect.
