I currently run the Yamaha Reliance 14 1/4" with a 18-pitch props it came with, but the cavitation is so bad it's chewing off the zinc fins. I'm hitting 39 knots at 5700 but there is crazy slippage getting out of the hole. I can almost stop the cavitation with a lot of engine trim. Does anyone have this setup and have the prop selection dialed? I'm not worried about losing top end I just want best economy around 3700.

The guy at propgods seems to have the best info and recommendations.

This thread below is for a Deep V, but it's a twin 200 set up. I'd probably talk to and order from the propgods guy just for the peace of mind that you could swap out the props if they don't achieve what you're looking for.

Thanks, I emailed the Prop Gods guy, looks like 4 years ago he recommended the Powertech SCE4 14"-17p.
