Say you were going to buy a Triton 220LTS. You have a choice of Yamaha
F250hp V6 Four Stroke or F225hp V6 Four Stroke. If you went with the 250
hp
what diameter and pitch propeller would you buy? Also what diameter and
pitch propeller would you buy for the 225 hp?


Picking the right propeller for a given boat and engine is as much art
as science. It even gets down to how much fuel, and how many
passengers you expect to carry, and what conditions do you want to
optimize. I would go with dealer or manufacturer recommendations for
a starter.
