Hose Connection, I don't have the planing problem, but I am considering a four blade to help handling in the mid range rpm's. I would think (guessing here) you might try this first, then do a trim tab replacement with larger tabs next. Doing the props first will be expensive, but you may find a good deal on a pair online. I wish there was a "Prop Swap" board, where boat owners could swap props with someone online. It sure would cut down on the cost of trying stuff out. After all, who can really tell whether a particular prop is the right one in just a few minutes? I don't expect dealers to lend me a new prop for several weeks only to take it back and give me another one. Isn't a four blade worth considering since; 1) I don't care about losing 2-4 mph off the top end speed, 2) I want better performance under heavy loads, 3) and I would like to plane at lower speeds (better grip)? Anybody know the "real deal" on this? I need a "Props for Dummies" book! 2120 Splashguard- It's got to go! Firm believer in the removal of said device. Now if the ice will just melt enough so I can work on it. Hey! Love seeing the recent traffic on this site! Osprey owners, please feel welcome! No bashing, only constructive criticism, frank opinions and support here so far. I'm sure there will be a new crop of Parker Owners joining after the boat show season also. Ranger Tim P.S.
