I have a 2005 Larson with a 3.0L Volvo Penta SX engine. I'm interested in replacing the current prop for a SS. How do I determine the correct pitch and the correct prop?

Get us the information in "read this first" at the top of the page.
Prop size is usually near the base of the blades or under the prop nut.
Why do you want a ss prop?

Sorry, I don't see the "read this first" section on this page. What information are you wanting? I've read that a SS prop gives better performance and even more HP.

Sorry, "Read this first" is at the top of prop main page.
It is true a ss prop can deliver improved performance across the board.
How much improvement would depend on how well your present prop is working.
There are al props that deliver close to ss performance at about 1/3 the cost.

Ayuh,... Motors build Horsepower,... Props put it to use...
