ESSENTIAL DATA REQUIRED
When posting a question about propellers, you cannot get a reasonable answer unless you provide the following information in your post: Items 1-4 are essential for meaningful response to most questions.
1) Performance issue you are trying to correct.
Not happy with factory setup on the 130 Etec - especially for tubing/wakeboarding activities. Have small kids and found engine would bog down trying to go slow (even overheated it a few times at 3200 rpm). Can only take them tubing at 20 mph. Had issues pulling heavy wakeboard - boat wouldn't plane? WOT seems decent.
Also doesn't grip too well in corners when turning at cruising speeds.. Just think i can do better all round then this - both for water spots and top end.
2) Current prop manufacturer, model, aluminum or stainless as a minimum.
OEM Etec aluminum 14.8x17
3) Current prop diameter and pitch (required).
14.8x17
4) Wide open throttle RPM and speed with an average load (very helpful)
About 5550 RPM / 38 mph with just driver about 5400 RPM / 36 mph with wife and kid
5) Engine/drive make, model, year, and HP
2012 ETEC 130 HP, 25 inch shaft / 2.25 gear ratio
6) Boat make model, year, length and weight
Hurricane 187 OB Sundeck - 2012, 19ft, 2260 hull weight, 3200 wet weight
