Re: Proper pitch for 2002 Glastron
My 2004 GX185 4.3 carb 190 horse at 6,000 feet-14.25 X 19 pitch OEM prop, Volvo part number 3850301 does 42.8 mph at 4600 rpm. Turning point hustler aluminum 43.4 mph at 4600 rpm. A 3850300 17 pitch at altitude does 38.7 mph at 4900 rpm. So, at sea level a Volvo 21 pitch will give you upper 40's on speed and still hit max rpm and pulling power for water sports. You could use a 23 pitch, which was stock, for long distance cruising.
