Re: prop

Welcome,If you read the stickies at the top of the page and the helps on the prop store page it will help you understand prop selection better.
Is there a prop on it now?There should be numbers on the barrel or under the prop nut. What is your present max rpm and speed? What year is the boat?

Re: prop

ESSENTIAL DATA REQUIRED
When posting a question about propellers, you cannot get a reasonable answer unless you provide the following information in your post: Items 1-4 are essential for meaningful response to most questions.
1) Performance issue you are trying to correct.
2) Current prop manufacturer, model, aluminum or stainless and as a minimum.
3) Current prop diameter and pitch (required).
4) Wide open throttle RPM and speed with an average load (very helpful)
5) Engine/drive make, model, year, and HP
6) Boat make model, year, length and weight
