Hello,
Newbie here with a question. Just bought my first boat and the prop is a little banged up. There is a chunk out of one blade and the other blades are dinged up. So I am looking at getting a new prop. My RPM's are running right about 4500 WOT and my recomended ranged is 4500 to 5500. The prop on now is the original prop 11.75 X 17 which is also what the book recomends.. Since the RPM's are running so low I was thinking about going to a 12.25 X 15. Oh yeah my boat is a 17 ft bass tracker, and I am getting up to about 27 mph. What do you guys think? Should I stick with the same size prop or change like I am thinking?
