Default Z222 prop pitch?

Hi everyone, I am going to pick up my Z222 next weekend.... It has a 7.4 merc. I was wondering if anyone has any good prop pitch recommendations (anyone have a Z222 that can help me out?). It currently has a 21 pitch on it now, from my past experiences that seems kinda light or undersized.

Any thoughts anyone? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    What is your WOT with the 21p now?
    Should be in the 4200-4600 rpm range as per manual.
    If it is higher you need to go up in pitch , if it's lower you need to go down in pitch.

    I haven't had it on the water yet... I was hoping someone that had a Z222 with a 7.4 could let me know what they are running for a prop pitch.
    ( Or similar set up)

    Why dont you run yours first and record the top speed & WOT rpm's. That way if there are any adjustments to be made we have some base data to work with.

    Does anyone have a Z222 with a 7.4? What prop are you running?
