Just bought this motor and haven't even had it in the water yet. Traded in my Mariner 115 2 stroke piece of junk and the dealer encouraged me to use my 19 pitch SS prop on the new motor. From what I am reading on props for 4 strokes, I shouldn't expect great results here. Wondering if anyone out there has this motor and which pitch prop worked best for them? I'm anticipating allot of trial and error coming up and would like to go to school on someone elses experience if possible.<br />Thanks.

Go ahead and try the 17", Clark. <br /><br />The story about 4 strokes not having the torque of 2 strokes is 90% bull.<br /><br />I have a Suzi DF70 on my Boston Whaler Montauk, and I am running an 18" SS prop.<br /><br />Good luck. :)
