Hey Tim, just a question I noticed you have a sho 175 on your boat. I just bought a new boat and thats what it came with. I have always been a mercury guy so I dont know much about the Yamaha, Can you give ma any advise (likes/dislikes) on the SHO 175?
Thank you for your input. Steve

I run a 17 p tempest plus that has been cupped. It does pretty good on my boat. 46 mph top end on my heavy boat. I think Merc props are way better than Yamaha. The flo torq 4 hub is quieter and less chatter than the SDS.

Tim, I agree with you on hole shot mad mid range for sure. Like you the top end is slow I think I am at around 45mph.
I have a Yamaha Reliance series 17P. My question is when you had your prop pitched did you notice much difference? I was told in my case live it alone it already is cupped from the factory. I know moving up in pitch will increase top end. Do think your boat would turn a 19P and still perform fine in all areas? I am considering going to a 19P in aluminum just to try it before I go the expense of an other stainless prop. Last thing you said the mercury tempest is the better prop correct? Thanks Steve

I tried a 19p tempest and 19p 4 blade. Engine wouldn’t get past 5300 rpms and it was slower by 3 mph. I have a 17p reliance also and it is 1mph faster than the tempest but doesn’t get the bow up like I want. Tempest gives me better slip ratio... fuel efficiency.
I think I may need to raise the motor up to the highest hole to turn a 19p but I do t want to lose the trim or the grip for 2 mph
