Hi Stripbait, I have a similar issue with my 2015 2510 with the F300. I am also having an issue of water spraying on my cowling. When I spoke with Parker through my dealer their suggestion was to trim the motor more then 4 bars. When I do I see 5500 in flat water which I think is not enough for this motor but it is within the range. When my dealer raised the motor down one notch I was able to get a 100 or so more rpms at top end.

If I decide to try a new prop I will let you know. Please post or send me a note if you try the 4 blade prop.

Thanks

I have a Yamaha saltwater series 2 and I have hit 5700 with this setup. Is the sds the black steel prop? Did you purchase this boat recently or did you buy it new?

Ok, I do recall that boat. In theory we should be close to 6000 on our setups but I am pretty much maxxed out I think at 5700. I think you have room for improvement on yours. Try giving prop gods a call in florida, he will give you some possible solutions

I run a 15-3/4 x 15 prop on my 99' 2520MV. I get 5800-5900 rpms max.
