I have a 1971 Manatee 15' v-hull with a 1971 Evinrude 50 hp outboard motor.
I bought the boat 6 years ago for $400. and it had no prop. I bought a 17 pitch prop and used it for 3 yrs and had some engine work done, including getting a new seal kit in the foot. I was given a 15 pitch prop to use, but it doesnt seem to run as fast with it. The boat will plane out faster with it. The 17 pitch prop seemed to take longer to plane out, but also seemed to have a faster speed at WOT.
Does anyone know the pitch prop that I need?
