Hi!
My name is Ingulf, I live in Norway and last season I bought a 96?model SeaRay 175 CB with a 3.0 MerCruiser LX (135 hp). I currently have a 3 blade aluminium propeller. Not sure about the diameter. I use my boat in saltwater and open ocean... but only on really clear days. Current top-speed is 30-32 knots at about 3500 RPM with 2 adults in the boat. The engine manual says it should run about 4200-4600 at maximum speed. I have seen identical boats/ engines listed with a 40-42 knot top speed.
Any tips on what propeller I should go for? And do you know of any reasonable priced dealerships in USA? The prices in Norway are ridiculus when it comes to engines and parts. Any help is much appreciated!
