    Best prop for Suzuki DF 175’s on a Tomcat 255

    Now that I got my engines ordered I got to find out which prop is the best. If anyone knows the model and specs for the best prop for those motors I’d appreciate it. I had the 3X 16D 21.5 pitch on my previous 150’s. I was told by the dealers that I could use the same prop. But I got some...

    Tomcat 255 repower

    Dr Bob, The prop size that I’ve been using is the 3X 16 by 21.5 I had that in my 150’s. I should try those out? The 4 blade 16 by 21 is what you recommend in SS?

    Tomcat 255 repower

    I had cable controls and I am switching to fly by wire controls. The engines are for fly by wire and a bit more than the cable controlled motors. The total cost for fly by wire controls and the engines are around 36k. Also I ordered the white colored motors which are a bit more expensive...

    Tomcat 255 repower

    My tomcat is a 2006. I am currently repowering and would like some input. I am repowering with new Suzuki outboards with new fly by wire controls. I am deciding whether to repower with the Suzuki DF150ap or the DF175ap. The DF150ap’s are Back ordered so I considered the 175’s to see if they...

    First San Juans or Gulf Island trip?

    We cruise to the sanjuans every summer for the last 4 years from everett. I agree with everyone that anacortes is a good starting point. Easy cruise to get to the gulf islands from there and inside passages to get to Friday harbor. Inside passages can get you safely around from anacortes. In...
