Suzuki DT115 Stainless prop.

[Lazza]

Hi there, can anyone advise please the prop that will provide the best performance for this motor. It's driving a 17.5ft cabin boat which is used for general boating including skiing. Currently has a S/S prop but unsure of size and pitch etc. Thanks.

Well you did pretty good with the basic motor and boat info.
Is the boat aluminum or fiberglass?The make?A guess of total weight?
But we need the present max rpm and speed,by gps if possible.
Also need prop size,usually appears on the barrel or under the prop nut.
The max recomended rpm of the motor as well.Any or all of this info will help.

You may already have the best prop. Wide open throttle rpm with an average load is the number we need. That and any part number, manufacturers product code, or diameter and pitch (yy x zzP) where YY is the diameter (you can measure that) and zz is the pitch. Not knowing what you have now makes it nearly impossible to tell you what you need.
