    '22 Ranger Z519 Set-up - Prop Recommendations

    What are some recommendations on setting up a Z519 w/ProXP 225? Currently, I have a 24P Fury 4 and can turn it 5800 (69-71mph) loaded with equipment, fuel, and me. Haven't really played much with the P2P distances as a hydro jackplate is new to me. What are some experiences with the 23P, 24P Fury 3 or the Tempest Plus?

    My 2019 came with a 23p fury 3. My setup seems similar to yours, not sure if you are dual or single console, and I turn my 23p fury around 6k rpm and get around the same speed as you. I'm on a manual jackplate and haven't messed with engine height especially after switching to lithiums.

    Thanks, I was thinking that I needed to prop it out so I could spin get the 6200 rpm.

    I am pretty sure that there will be a reduction of what I can spin the 24p Fury 4 once the NC heat and humidity hits. Therefore, I'm thinking that the 23p or 24p Fury 3 may be the summer prop. Knowing the that Z519 with 4-stroke 225 is a common item, I was wondering about other experiences using a 3 bladed Fury or even the Tempest Plus.

    Have you gotten your rig back and been able to run it?? If so, what are you spinning your 23p? Erickennedy1 in the post above is around 6k @ 69-71 mph.

    Probably will need a 22.5-23. I like tempests better than fury’s on rangers that are bow heavy

    Good to hear and I know you'll be happy to get it out on the water. If you remember, get back to me with your numbers with that 23P Fury 3. It looks like our set-up is about the same.
