Vector/Merc 150 Setup Dear
Randy: Thank you
ROGAMD,
(??) The
Vector/150 package is a very good one. Great OVERALL performance. We've
set up in the past about a half dozen or so. The following set up
recommendation is very easy and works within a couple of mph of the
"jack plate and highrise" set up combos out there. We tried the
high on the transom route and the results were far from satisfactory. We
wanted great holeshot, good top end (and repeatable at that), weight
carrying ability, and the least amount of gaudy brackets and such. We
mounted the motor about 2 1/2 inches up on the transom with no jack plate.
We ran a small (14") diameter Merc chopper, 26" pitch. This
package ran 77mph with about any load in the boat. Without a plate the low
speed porpoise that Vectors have was not near as pronounced as with a
plate. Since those props are hard to find a 26 Yamaha drag prop would
work. A 25 or 26 Trophy small hub will be good too. The best prop is the
last I'll talk about, the 26" SMALL HUB Laser 2 Merc three blade.
This prop will run big numbers on the top and punch better than a drag
prop. We put one on an Allison Grand Sport and 200 ProMax this summer. The
boat ran 85 MPH and pulls slalom skiers like they weren't there. Try
that prop and you'll be hooked.
