Hi everyone,
I have a 20 ft Four Winns Horizon H200 powered by a 5.0 GXi Volvo Penta SX sterndrive.
Current prop is an OEM Volvo Penta aluminum 14.3" x 21", top speed 52 mph, WOT 4800 rpm, 200 rpm below max engine speed given by manufacturer (5000 rpm).
I want to switch to a stainless steel prop and after some readings I found out that the SS Stiletto Advantage could be a good choice. This prop also seems to have more cup.
I am considering the SS Stiletto 14.25" x 19" (2" pitch decrease) given the extended cup and the current 200 rpm below max engine speed.
Am I right or should I stay with the same pitch (Stiletto 14.25" x 21")?
Thanks for your replies.
