Prop Pitch

[macfurch]

I just ordered a new prop for my Mercury 115HP, old pitch was 17, but I ordered a 19, will this cause any issues?

If you "were" reaching max WOT RPM with 17 pitch then yes, you will be slower coming out of the hole, and may start lugging the motor. If you were over reving then should be fine

What were the WOT rpms with the 17?
What year engine are you putting this on? A need to know, as the WOT rpm range varies amongst the years, and engine designs

Hi. What model and age of 115 ? And so you know what performance and rpm you saw previously? If it’s a 115 from 2014/15 onwards…I’ll have an idea and a few things to say, if you tell me what boat it’s attached to also.
