I have a 1986 Bayliner Capri Cuddy 1600 with a 85 hp force on it. Last year everything worked great I could cruise at 4900-5100 RPMs no problem and then go WOT and bring it up to around 5500 RPMS and get speeds around 35 mph. This year I decided to get a new prop because the old one looked a little worn. The old prop said 13 x 19 Michigan on it so I got the exact same one 13 x 19. I took it out for the first time this year and could only get 4000 RPM out of it at WOT. I put the old prop on then went out and could only get 4200 RPM out of it. I do want to add that the motor idles fine and revs up fine it gets up on plane with no hesitation but I do not feel like I am getting the same power out of it that I did last year. Any advice?
Thanks guys.
