Hello All
I have a 19 foot welded aluminum boat with a '94 johnson 150 and am currently using a 3 bladed aluminum 15 by 15 prop which runs WOT at 5200 rpm at 32 knots.
Where I live is fairly remote and I would like to buy a stainless prop through the internet. Are there guidelines I can use to tell my what pitch I would need in, for example, a 14 inch stainless prop that would give me 5600 rpms? Is there a formula one can use for predicting how a change in diameter will affect WOT RPM?
Thanks in advance for your feed back!
