You might want to consider reducing your trial and error process time
by visiting the Michigan Wheel site and supplying the particulars of
your specific boat. That will let you know what Michigan Wheel would
recommend, and they likely know more about what prop is ideal for your
specific setup than even most knowledgeable prop shops.




I *have* used that -- it says a 14.5x21 is what I need - however, it doesn't ask
me anything about my current performance, unlike the mercury prop site.

Anyway; -- I can't find a 14.5" x 17 prop that is a good performer -- I'm
getting ready to buy a 15x17 prop and have the blades shaved down a 1/4 inch...
