Hey guys, just purchased an 05, 40 hp etec and am trying to figure out what prop to use. I believe the engine was on a pontoon so the present one is of no help. I have a 16 ft bow rider deep v hull with a 76" beam. It is aluminium. I used the prop wizard program from turning point and it says to use a 13.25 17 for skiing and a 13.25 19 for top speed. Does this seem right to you guys? Also, I was wondering if my engine would benifit from a Stainless prop. I was told that performance gains on my old engine (35 HP) wouldn't Warrenton the cost. Was wondering if theither same holds true for the 40 hp. Thanks in advance guys. Oh, the rpm range for the etec is 5500 to 6000 I believe.
