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

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.
