Prop for yamaha 15hp Kicker

[camoman_TS]

Just bought a 2001 15hp Yamaha 4s kicker this summer... Not sure what it has for a prop , looks stock 3 blade.. I like to use the kicker to maneuver the boat to and from close fishing holes as a pose to firing up the big motor. I am pretty happy with the trolling speeds right now , could be a little slower maybe..

Is there a way I can get a little more speed out of the motor pushing a 175 alumacraft trophy pro? When I open it up now rpm is pretty low and I am not sure its making the power that it is capable of... I was doing some research and was thinking of putting a Solas high thrust prop on it.. is this a good idea? should I look at the 5 or 7 pitch? I defintaly do not want to troll faster, same speed or slightly less would be good.



Thanks!

The solas high trust kicker props work pretty good you'll should be fine with going with the 4 blade 7 pitch.
