I have a 2012 Bayliner 180 OB with a 2012 Mercury 4 stroke 90HP outboard. It came with a 3 blade 13x19p aluminum black max prop. I wasn't unhappy with the prop, with my usual load I would hit about 5500-5600 RPM and nearly 40MPH in calm water. However, I ran aground around North Captiva last week trying to reach a local watering hole at low tide and wrecked the prop pretty good.
So, I'm now looking for a good general purpose replacement, and web searches don't seem to like to return much for this exact replacement prop. I was recommended to ask here for good suggestions. I'm open to any ideas, our purposes are mostly general, hole shot is not all that important to me, and we rarely tow skiers or go tubing. Stainless or aluminum, I have no real religion about, either. I do like the breakaway hub design of the current black max prop setup, so I'd like to keep that feature. As you can tell, I'm a newbie to replacing props, having owned a jetboat for years prior.
Thanks in advance!
