I'm usually kin to the phrase "runs like a raped ape"

Mike, my buddy runs a 14 w a 25 merc 2 stroke. A dolfin made all the difference for him. The 14 has a slight rocker to the hull that I think causes it to push. The dolfin seems to counter act the rocker. Rated at the factory 15hp. go figure

I thought of that too Phil but I figured the prop may be the culprit as well. My friend has a TDB with a 25 and his boat gets up and goes with out the Dolfin. He is going to check into his prop size as well.

Hey guys. I am wondering what pitch prop to use on my 15hp Mariner. The motor is about 15 years old but still runs fine. Anyone out there use Mariners?

Thanks,

What kinda boat do you have the 15hp on? is the prop on it not moving the boat very well? Does it bog or over rev. I would see how it does with whatever prop is on it now and go from there. It may be perfect the way it is. Every boat will act different. Going with what you have now and seeing how it does is your best bet. Then you can go up or down in pitch if its bogging or over reving. Good luck!

Hey I just found all of this and wanted to comment, I am no expert but I am running a 15hp Yamaha 2 stroke on my estuary with a high thrust Yamaha 9.3/4 X 6 1/2 and it has doubled the speed of the boat.

Hey Jim..I have a DH-15 with a 25 horse 4 stroke pushing it..I'm running the stock prop, anything i can do to it...seems like it boggs at times with the fat boys init...besides going up to a 30 horse motor?
