Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
That's a 17" pitch. Yes, it's a good size if it puts the motor in the right rpm band and does what you expect with a reasonable amount of slip. It's not a good size if it doesn't. Very generally speaking I'd think a 17 on a 115 for a 19' boat would be reasonable. If you post the true speed and rpm we can figure the % of slip and see where you're at.
Thanks Dhadley, I never took the boat out in the water yet!!! I was going to buy another one that is stainless!! I guess i should stick with that then!!
Yeah that is true, I just have one prop, the one that is on there!! And i need a spare prop!! With my luck i will take the boat out and the prop will go!!
Well, if it does it wasn't any good for a spare anyway. If it's in bad shape and you just need another one a decent 17 is probably the way to go. Got a few more specific questions / ideas - I'll shoot you an IM.
