What Size Prop ??? Merco 61
« on: January 28, 2008, 03:54:14 PM »
Should find my answer here. Suggestions as to what sizes to try for hauling round a Magnum.
Thanks in advance

Hi, Brian,
   I've had success with 13/6 BYO or Rev-Up on my Merco 61.  Seems to like about 8000-8200 launch rpm.  Classic 4/2/4 style engine run.

Hi Brian, I use a 13/6 APC turning 8100 to 8400 rpm's on my merco and she runs and flys great. Lap time is 5.2 seconds on 60 foot lines. A Merco with a Magnum is a great combination. Mine will do the pattern using a 6 1/2 ounce tank. Mine weighs out at 64 ounces. Have a great day, Gary
