I bought a mariner 40hp 2 cylinder motor 1990. It comeing without a prop. So I have no numbers at all, starting fresh.
It is going on a 14.5 foot aluminum side console boat, weighing about 1000-1200lbs loaded (thats a guess). The 25hp on it now pushes it 21-22mph with an 11 pitch four blade solas.
I am looking for anyone who has a motor similiar to tell me what pitch they are running (and kind of boat they have) so I can BALLPARK a prop for my rig.
I understand that all of this is mearly speculation, but there is no way to know what i should buy since I have nothing to make the boat move with now. This i felt was my best option.
I am thinking 14pitch 4 blade solas, but I am open to opinions
