Re: Mercury 20-HP FOURSTROKE Stalls

My recommendation would be to try a doll fin mounted on the citation plate. I know it sounds cheesy, but for 50 bucks its worth a shot they work quite well for slow speed planing and help keep the bow down on take off.

Thanks for the feedback, when you say drop the propeller by 2 inches do you mean from 17 pitch to 15 pitch? Or are you referring to diameter?

The propellers I have now are 3 blade stainless

Who makes the A4 propeller that you had?
