Thought I might not have correct prop(16 1/2 x 23")me out wanted to check WOT. 1997 Bravo II, should be 44-4800. Well it got to 5200,I quickly powered down. Now, where there had not been a problem prior, currently it will now stall when ever I put into gear. Not sure what happened, on the way to checking out proper prop.

1997 merc 5.7 liter, bravo II 210 SHP. Gear ratio, 2.2/1 gear ratio.<br /><br />Yesterday, started put into gear seem OK, however I did not go above 2500rpm. Only change was that I replaced the two dead batteries. Would dead batteries cause engine to quit when put into gear or does alternator take over.
