I am putting a 50 hp 4 cly Mercury on my 16' Bass Tracker. At present it has a four blade adj. prop. Should I go with a standard 3 blade and if so what size???

4-blade adjustable prop? Pirannah composite?

I'd guess a 12p or 13p aluminum 3-blade. Is that a 2-stroke or 4-stroke? (same answer either way)

I'm assuming that it's not a Sun Tracker pontoon and that the motor isn't a BigFoot model.

It is a 2cycle motor. I am not sure of manufacturer of the adj. prop.-you adj it with 4 allen bolts in the hub portion.
My tracker is a 16' aluminum bass boat. If I use a 13" pitch what diameter do you suggest?
