Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wirehair" data-source="post: 304776" data-attributes="member: 769"><p>Son recently purchased a 2014 Tracker Pro-Guide V-175 with a 115 HP Merc four stroke.  The prop is an aluminum 17 pitch Mercury Black Max (recommended by Merc).  With the engine trimmed down, prop seems to cavitate or ventilate when powered up and boat attempts to plane out.  Prop looks next to new with no apparent damage.  When boat is out of water, engine cavitation plate seems to be positioned properly.  Previous owner had installed a sidescan transducer about 8 inches to the right of the engine, but can't imagine that would be a problem.  First thought was to suggest a different / SS prop but hate to have him throw $$ at this if not the primary issue. Have never encountered anything like this.  Any suggestions will be appreciated!</p></blockquote><p></p>
