Re: Prop Recomendation

You need to go down about 4" of pitch, your motor will thank you and your fuel bill will be much better. That motor will live a lot longer if it turns within <100-200 r.p.m. of recommended red line.

Absolutely true. You're much better off with a prop that turns 200 rpm high when the boat is empty. You'll still get great cruise performance, and your motor won't be straining as hard to achieve it.
