Another question from a nubbie. I have a 16' aluminum star craft with a 50 horse merc with hydralic trim. Boat has open bow with a deck, one 6 gallon tank, electric trolling motor up front, and a portable 12 gallon live well. Seems to me this a light load. The boat came with 2 props. 3 blade aluminum with markings 4873134A12P and a 4 blade composite with markings 4 x 10 x 13 / 4 x 254 x 330. The engine runs great revs fine but takes forever and a day to plane out. Doesnt matter where the engine is trimmed to, still takes forever. Can anyone tell me if the before mentioned props are even close to being correct for this application?
