I have a 17 ft Glastron SSV-176 runabout with a 115 hp 1976 Merc. The prop on there is kind of beatup so I was thinking of replacing it. There is a 19 on it so I figure that is the pitch. I get around 5000 RPM at 40 mph for WOT.
Is that the correct prop for this setup? It's used for fishing and pulling a tube.

Thanks
Eric

A 13+X17 SS is the best prop for that boat with the 115Johnrude at your elevation.
The engine will run best in the third set of holes down with that combo.
anything below 5200-5300 is too low, you need to be at 5500-5800, preferably the latter.
