Anyone run a Merc Rev 4 or High 5 on an Etec 250?
Purchased a 2014 620vs with an Etec 250 HO with 1.85 lower unit and 15 kicker. Boat came with Rebel 21 and 23 pitch props. RPM's and speed are good with the 21 when loaded and will touch the limiter if I'm alone and light. But this thing is a dog out of the hole with the family and a full livewell.
Fish Green Bay and Lake Michigan mostly and will also be dragging the kids around the lake. I want the holeshot, lift and control of a 4 or 5 blade prop and am willing to give up 4 or 5 mph on the top end to get that. Thinking I need a 21p High Five or 19p or 20p Rev 4. Just seeing if anyone else has run something close to these combos. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk |

Is your Etec 250HO a G1 or G2? I've got a G2 on my 620FS but from your numbers I suspect yours is a G1?

Of course someone is running the configuration that you ask about.

Just wondering- do etec lower end splines align with Mercury/ Yamaha? I don't know if those props are interchangeable. Might want to check on that as I'm not sure. Maybe they are but good thing to check just in case.

No they do not but mercury makes a hub to fit the evinrude lower. Looking merc because I have heard mixed reviews on the rx4. Also the local prop shop told me I would have to buy each prop instead of being able to test them so I'd like to get this right the first time.

Obviously your G1 and my G2 are very different, but I can tell you that the RX4 is a really good prop on my G2 / Ranger 620FS. The reverse is not good. But hole shot, control, slow planing speed, rough water handling, and top end are very good.
I've ran the RX4, Rev4, Tempest Plus, Bravo1 and they're all very good, but none are better than the RX4 on my setup. My 22p RX4 runs 150 rpm lower then my 23p Tempest plus. To give you an idea how they compare RPM wise. Since you're not worried about speed, I'd suggest the Rev4 or the RX4 to get the hole shot, handling, and lift that you want. I've ran both and they will give you what you're after.
