I am kind of new to the whole buying a prop game. I have a 94 Mercury 40 that I bought for $100 the other day that needs a prop. My boat is a 13.5' Kennedy Kraft and I don't know what size prop to order, as I am looking at the props here on iboats website to order (no mercury dealers within 100 miles of me.)
There is a ton of different pitch props and I don't know how to choose the correct pitch for my boat. Here is what I do know and I don't if it will make a difference or not. I have a 25 and 35 Evinrude, the 25 has a 9X10 and the 35 has a 10X13. The 25 actually runs faster than the 35 without a load, but will run about the same speed as the 35 with the load. So, should I get a smaller pitch prop for the 40 to get a better speed?
Thanks for the help.
