Hi,
We have a 2012 60 HP ETEC tiller on an Alumacraft Navigator. It came stock with a 13.5 x 15 pitch prop, which works fine with 2 guys in the boat. With 3 guys, trolling motor/battery, full livewell, I cannot get the boat to plane. We bought a 13.75 x 13 pitch prop which has dramatically improved the holeshot (gotta hang on now, or your gonna be in the bottom of the boat!), but we went from 30 mph to 24 mph.
What will going to a SS 13.37 x 15 pitch do for us? Provide a better holeshot than the 15 pitch aluminum? I have never used a SS prop before.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks!
PS, the 15 pitch aluminum hits about 5600 to 5700 RPM, the max is 6000 I believe.
