Re: Nice discussion on prop sizes
Hi Dlandersson!
Thanks for posting that video on propping ones boat!
It was informative and has taken some of the mystery out of the process.
The under sizing ==> over sizing ==> right sizing of the propeller to one’s particular engine/boat/load was
interesting!
Particularly with our hoping to get a new engine in the (hopefully) near future.

Again, Thanks!
Best Regards,
Over Easy

Re: Nice discussion on prop sizes
If you are getting your new engine installed by a dealer they should be willing to test it with multiple props. A prop for a pontoon boat is usually a good starting point for our boats.
