Mercury Bravo LT on 2018 wx2060

Does anyone have a 19 pitch bravo LT on a new 2060. My rpms are good right now with the SWS 2 in a 19 pitch, but generally I go down in pitch when going to a 4 blade. Any data would be greatly appreciated before I drop $700

You probably will want a 20″ pitch in a Bravo LT. You may even be able to spin a 20.5″, depending on where your rpm’s are now. On the Bravo’s you move up 1″ pitch from the Yamaha 3 blades, if you would like to keep the apx same rpm. Just as an example, when I went from a 20″ Yamaha prop, to a 20.5″ Bravo LT, on my 2017 MX 2040, my rpms were apx 150 more with the 20.5″ Bravo LT, than the 20″ Yamaha prop that I had been using. Also a 3 mph lower planning speed with the LT, 1 mph more top end, and much faster acceleration. If I remember right, I was at a little over 5900 rpm’s, and 58.5-59 mph with the 20″ Yamaha. Bravo LT in 20.5″ was 59.5+ mph, at 6100 rpm. You will also want to raise your engine 1/2″-1″ with the Bravo props. While some people have said they can raise their engine more than that, that wasn’t my experience, as while a higher setting worked fine in a straight line, at two inches up, I broke loose in a hard turn.

I’m Running a 19.5 P on a 17 model. I can get to 5800. Another guy with the same boat here in Mi went with the 19P he can get a little more out of his. The ride is much improved with these props. I left the motor height the same.

If you settle on a prop try Jaco’s Marine. They have the lowest prices on Mercury props I’ve seen. Free shipping and no tax.

Thanks to all, ed set me up with Jacks. Talked with them today. I will probably go with the 19’ as I usually have 3 kids on board. Top speed isn’t a real concern.
Thanks again,
Nick

I do not have the Bravo LT but I am running the Bravo 1 on a 2016. I’m running the 21 pitch in with the motor in the highest hole. With a light load I’m 5800-5900 at 56-57mph. Loaded with 2-3 people and full livewells I’m 55mph at 5700. The boat handles much better and has way more bow pressure if needed and jumps on plane extremely quick. I did have this prop worked a bit to get a few more RPM’s. I would’ve went to the 20 pitch but I couldn’t get one for quite a while and I didn’t want to wait. The 2018 supposed to run a bit faster so I’d assume somewhere around 20pitch in either Bravo would be about right to get you close to 6000rpm Wich is what Yamaha wants on the SHO.
