Props

[STORMY2ALLEN]

Hello everyone I have not been boating long and was wondering. I have an 1986 Ebbtide with a 3.8 on an OMC cobra out drive . What I would like to know is what is the best prop size to run and how many RPMS should it max out to. At full throttle.

Thanks
Stormy

Re: Props

4200 - 4600 rpm.
14.25" diameter X Whatever pitch gets you in that rpm range.
