Sounds like the previous owner frequently pulled skiers or wakeboards and needed
the "hole shot". Or maybe he didn't know any better when he got that deal on a
new prop!

The propeller on my boat has a 13" pitch.. When I use the calculator
the speed agrees with what I'm seeing.

My question now is: What prop pitches do people use on a 23Ft outrage
with a 225 Merc? I've seen notes mentioning 17" and 19" pitch.. Any
advice on what is put on as a stnadard would be great.

I bought this boat used, 55 hours on the engine, and I can't beleve
they would sell it with a 13" pitch prop... The list of props for
this engine don't seem to even go down to 13"!

Any clues would be appreciated...

Thanks,
Jon



I believe the pitch on my 225 Yamaha on my Parker 25 is 17"...I'll have
to check it out...but I believe that is the right number. Seems to me a
19" or even 21" pitch would be suitable for that Whaler and a 225 engine.
