Hi to all...........
I'm looking to buy a spare prop for the vessel I purchased this full. I just want to be ready for the new season in the spring. Buying through the net is a lot cheaper than locally.
The boat is a Bayliner 2355 1995 with a Mercruiser 305 (V8 that develops about 200hp).
Outdrive is an Alpha 1 Gen II with a ratio of 1.65.
The present prop on the outdrive carries the model number #832830A45P19 Mercury.
By searching the model number on the internet, correct me if I'm wrong, I understand that this prop is a 14.5" prop with a 19 pitch.
I don't know if it's the original size prop or if it was changed by the previous owner.
I cannot supply wot rpm because the boat was never but in water yet.
The question is.......
1-Can anyone recommend a prop with the information given?
2- Or does anyone have the same boat ...if so what prop do you have?
3- Or should I get a different pitch so I can change the prop depending on the load.....(not sure how that works thought)?
4- Or should I just wait to put it in the water next year to see how it handles with the present prop....
Thanks in advance
