Move went fine. The new server is much faster. Which is good!

I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

I'm not trying to rush winter. I'm sure some semblance of winter is on the way. That means we are approaching the 2026 Ultimate Sport Show Tour - the three biggest fishing and outdoor sport shows in Michigan!

Yesterday at the Natural Resources Commission meeting in Lansing, science prevailed thanks to many, many persons who took the time to write in, and especially those who showed up to speak before the Commission on Commissioner Walters’ amendment to close bass fishing on the Inland Waterway and Black Lake from May 1 until the third Saturday in June.

How Much to Pitch Down for High Five

I'm considering switching to a High Five on my 620/225 Opti and am wondering how much, if at all, I need to move downward in pitch from a three blade. 

The two props I currently own are a Boger Blueprinted Tempest in 21P which is great for top end and a four blade 23P MI Wheel Ballistic.  The Ballistic is an excellent prop for big water, holeshot, and carrying a load but maxes out on RPMs around 5000 for me. 

They don't make the Ballistic in a pitch lower than 23 so I'm going to sell that one and pick up a High Five instead.  If I'm just barely bumping the limiter on a 21P three blade (with a bit of pitch added during blueprinting) do I need to pitch down to 19 for the High Five or should I stay at 21?

Thoughts?

so what are you looking for more rpm? hole shot? top end?? the 620 is that deep hulled ranger-walleye rig-right??  :P on an opti, max rpm is 5500. spinning a 23 at 5000 aint half bad -seeing the ranger is a lead sled. what is your prop to pad measurments?. oh yeah set back is how much? and water pressure reading?..have you tried a high five??

the 620 ranger is one of the slower ranger hulls currantly in production.you may kick you self for getting rid of that 23p prop.

what i would do is get on the net and throw a search out for any one with a high five. in a 19-21 you could burrow..trying differant props is key..also look for a renegade in the 21-23p area. the renegade props have alot of stern lift..or a good fury in a 21-23p-rangers tend to love this prop-fury's have a ton of lift built in them..

i am a bass boat guy so i am kind guessin at set up on a eye boat..my last big water boat had twin cat inboards..

Slipkey, sorry I am just replying. 

I have a Skeeter ZX-190 that I bought a High 5 for and I was told not to change the pitch at all.  I had a Yamaha Pro Series M25 three blade, and my High 5 is a 25p. 

Of course, I don't know anything about Rangers or Mercs, but I was told not to change the pitch.

hope this helps!
