Force 125 Propeller Size

[mohav]

I have a 1988 19ft Bayliner Capri with a Force 125 motor. Which of these propeller sizes would you recommend? I dont know what the original size was so I would appreciate it if you could tell me that as well. Thanks<br /><br />Here is the link to what is available for my motor:<br /><br /> http://www.boat-props.com/propeller...-Standard/horsepower-125/year-1988/index.html

Without knowing what size you have now, and what your wide open throttle rpm's are, we would be guessing.<br /><br />I guess I would go with the 13. x 17 pitch, and then got up or down from there depending on performance and rpm's, when you order your second/spare prop.

I have that same motor on a 19ft Spectrum Aluminum and the ideal prop for mine is the 17 pitch. I don't know if the Bayliner is that much heavier than my Spectrum but if it is you may need to drop down to a 15 pitch. Hope this helps.

I have an 84 Bayliner 19' open bow with the force 125 and I have three props for it. I have the 15, 17 and a 19. I prefer the 17 to be honest as it gives the best all around performance for our family setup. It also runs the motor at a lower RPM than the original I had on there, which I think was the 15...
