    best propeller for sailboat

    Can anyone suggest the optimum propeller (pitch, etc) for a 1976 Johnson 6 HP motor to push a 4600 pound 25' sailboat with 4.5' draft? There are a variety of propellers available from Michigan props, just wondering which would be optimum for a heavy sailboat. Thanks, Eddie
