Propeller
The condition of your prop has a major influence on the performance of your boat. Your
engine(s) should be equipped with the best size prop for normal conditions. Unusual uses or
weight conditions may require special props. A damaged prop can affect your boat's top
speed, cause vibrations, create a sudden drop in RPMs, or even increase fuel consumption.
Pitch = 17
Diameter = 14
Pitch and Diameter are the two basic dimensions of a propeller.
Example of propeller dimension: 14 x 17

Stay within the engine manufacturer's maximum and minimum RPM ranges when replacing
props. This information is located in your engine manual. If your boat does not have a tachometer,
consult your dealer for propeller changes.
