Does anyone here use or has used a mercury trophy plus ? and would you say its a good prop or not
I am looking for genuine opinions of this prop as in is it a good bow lifter ,
what is it like for midrange, and what is it like on the holeshot.

I am looking for a 13 3/4x 21 and have been told the trophy plus is a good bow lifter ( this could just be a sales pitch).
I have never seen one of these props being used and not heard much about them until yesterday.
I do know the hub needs to be shortened a fair bit as they are far too long as standard.

Do these compare to a Omc Raker for bow lift ? etc

..

Im not sure about the different Trophy models, or which one I used, but I had use of a 26 pitch for a while and really liked it. I'm told that Trophys are actually a little higher pitch that what they are called. IE - the 26 I tried was more like a 28.
It had good all round behaviour. Nothing weird or unexpected. Came off of acceleration nicely, and cornered really good, with no cavitation or blow out. It did have a bit of a funny sound, but I mostly run over-hub props, so it could just be me.
I would definitely check one out. But - you really do have to try it on your own boat. Don't take anyone's word on it without trying it.
I would NEVER buy a prop without testing it first.
Good luck.

Oh ya - the bowlift. I can really say on that. I've always got too much bowlift, so they all work in that area for me.

You might want to try a Solas Scorpion, if your looking for bow lift. They really worked well on my old Charger. There are a few folks that bought them after testing.

thanks wildcat, that's good to know

I cant use a scorpion as I am only after a prop that is 14 diameter and below. scorpion I think is 15 diameter.
its got to fit onto a omc 56 cu in large gearcase and 13 spline.

does anyone know the exact size of the hubs of the trophy plus ?
I need to know the hub size where it goes into the gearbox.
mercury say it fits small hubs, that can mean anything.

Try these guys. They can probably tell you.

Hob OD is between 4 & 4 1/4". The large thru hub props are 4 1/2-4-4/8" in diameter. Hope that helps.

I tried mercury got a silly answer, " fits small hubs " ?
i will give them another try and ask for a technical paper on the prop if possible.

well no answer from solas, mercury or power tech,
ive also asked a few dealers on the uk and got no answer.
Nobody wants to say exactly the size and if it would fit a omc triple.

so that's one prop off my list.

Small bore Mercury V6 gearcase inside diameter is 4 1/4 large bore is 4 3/4
