Propeller
« on: November 16, 2010, 03:34:33 PM »
Hey guys I have a 1987 25 foot Family Fisherman walk around.  The boat has a IO 5.0 Mercruiser and I was wondering if I have the right prop. The prop thats on there is a 14.5 x 17.

What RPMs is it running at wide open?  Do you get a good hole shot or is it slow to plane?

You have too much pitch there, That's a lot of boat. Try a 15"
